Initial thoughts went A-10 > Pucara (then noted a high wing?) > Bronco.
Now going with Convair Charger. :)

Noyade has it with the Convair Model 58 Charger, an unsuccessful bidder for the COIN contract won by the Bronco.

As Uncle Roger would say: “WIHIHH?”

Noyade has the con.

Thanks Simon!

Carrier aircraft?

I was going to suggest Westland Wyvern with second prop artfully hidden but not sure, tail plane looks too high set for starters.

First thoughts were Martin Mauler,but closer inspection would be the Kaiser-Fleetwings XTBK-1.....Of which there is not a lot of complimentary information..

OH ...again ,if correct....

The Kaiser it is. :ok:

OPEN HOUSE

Open house to long:

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....ed422f20b.jpeg
and yes, this time I have made sure that I know the type myself!

I seem to remember that beasty at the PFA Cranfield several times. Or one very like it!

I believe that post-modern Flea is the Croses EC-6 Criquet. He also designed the EC-9 Para-Cargo Croses Para-Cargo
At which point I hope someone thought the joke had gone far enough.

If I'm right, Open House in the fullness of time.

Parrot is right,

open house called

Since OH...

:ok:

Blimey, that didn't take long! Over to you Noyade :ok:

Slight thread drift. Why does the JJ-1 have its inlets so far forward?

well in the '50's they'd just got over putting a hole in the nose so this was an improvement I guess.............

Cheers Beamr. I was very lucky with that one. No idea why the intakes are so far forward or why the vertical fin seems so incredibly tall.
Initially I thought it may have been the Fiat G.80.


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1a30f73ced.jpg

The tail of the JJ-1 seems to be inspired by the Fokker S-14, looking at the way the horizontal stabilizer is mounted. Did they just copy the size as well?

Fin reminds me of the Nangchang variation on a Yak 18 theme...

Looks very much like 'Britain First' (aka Bristol type 142, which became the Blenheim). Withdraw that, the undercarriage looks wrong

Nice challenge, your not only fishing in the same pond, you are smoking my salmon!
But no worries I have other challenges in stock.

Ahhh. Good to know. It's a very nice Salmon :ok:
I saw it yesterday whilst googling a rare aircraft any your pond came up - and I noticed this very "Bristol" looking machine.

But as you already know, it's actually French.

Not any more interested?
It was not my intention to put anyone off.
I hope no one felt that way?
I only had photos in side view in which this SIPA S 1100 is very pronounced and recognizable.
So did not post it as a challenge.
Looks a difficult way to me to get in and out for that pilot:

Thanks SLB. :ok:
Up to you now.

Thanks Noyade,
This one:

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....82906e5f6.jpeg

It gets like that. It's OK. :)

American?
The fourth of five built?
Flew with Pan American's South American affiliate - SCADTA?
Up front is a 650/700 hp Hornet T1C?

Yes that one!
Sufficient clues have been given.
Who will shoot this penalty better than Mbappe?

General Aviation GA-43, the one with floates. Over to Noyade for being the first.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....87539a49bd.jpg

It's all good. All yours Beamr. :ok:
If not - Open House.

exactly! Over to Beamer

ok then, here goes

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....e31519f200.jpg

Reminds me of Hindustan designs....................... but I think its a SOKO G-4 Super Galeb...........

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....77111f8915.jpg

Sir, you're quite right. Your turn!

Note to self: I need to get a grip and find something more challenging in the future. Mine has been solved in a blink of an eye lately. :rolleyes:

Beamr,
please be aware of the 24hr rule as explained in the Which Aerodrome Wikipost.
It is applicable to all 3 challenge threads.
You risk being zapped to 0 posts, which places you again under scrutiny of the Mods.

On the other hand,
if this challenge is not particularly difficult, Asturias could have let it run for some more hours as well before jumping the gun. Early answers put off many other interested followers.

I don't get a blinding flash of light very often at 08:32 - especially in What aircraft or What cockpit

As you say 24 hour rule applies .........................

Thank you for this info, I'll learn a bit more patience! :ok:

Well it was the overwing, relatively simple intakes - so pre 1990 but a smart canopy and a nice finish on the fuselage so post 1960. Not many small two seaters in the frame and a handy but battered copy of Janes Aircraft Recognition Guide saw me on finals

Try this..

Lancashire Prospector; but where's the rest?

Too disturbingly ugly to publish!
