RETDPI 5th August 2008 19:15

Spot on!
In fact -too spot on,
I'll change my source for silhouettes!
It is indeed the M.S. 479

You have control (I think) .......

Here is the next silhouette:

Handley Page H. P. 137 / BAe Jetstream?

evansb 5th August 2008 23:24

S'land is correct. A Jetstream 32 to be exact. You have control.

S'land 6th August 2008 08:28

Thanks Bri. That was an interesting challenge as it really is a silhouette of an actual aircraft, not a drawing. Makes it that bit more difficult.

Anyway, here is the next challenge.

Would you believe I've actually seen one of these?

S'land 6th August 2008 09:27

RETDPI:
As far as I am aware there is only one left, so I even know where you would have seen it.

Hawker Woodcock, perchance?
watp,iktch

S'land 7th August 2008 13:45

Close, but no cigar.

chiglet 7th August 2008 14:56

Missed the "11" out....Hawker Woodcock11, [I hope]
watp,iktch

Kieron Kirk 7th August 2008 15:01

Hawker Danecock. Woodcock had equal span wings whereas the Danecock 's upper wing was slightly greater than the lower wing.

chiglet 7th August 2008 15:26

Thanks Ciarain, looks like I've made a "cock-up" :uhoh:...so it's your turn.

We could be waiting for a while.

In that case, to keep things going...................

The Hawker Dancock it is. Three aircraft, based on the Hawker Woodcock, were ordered in 1925 by the Danish Government. Changes were made to the wings and cockpit area. The Danecock was slightly longer than the Woodcock and the lower wing was shorter that the upper wing. The power unit was an Armstrong Sidderly Jaguar IV developing 385 hp. The Danecock first flew in december 1925 and the three aircraft order was delivered in February 1926.

One of the Hawker built aircraft broke the Scandinavian Altitude record. It reached 8598 m. There is a Danish built Dankok in the museum in Copenhagen.

Ciarain has control (i think).

Umm... S'land. Your picture is of the Hawker Hawfinch -long gone.
The last Danecock is of course in the Tojhus Museum In Copenhagen.:8

NA T28 Trojan...
watp,iktch

evansb 7th August 2008 19:18

I agree it looks similar to the T-28 Trojan, which looks similar to the Hispano HA-100 Triana, which I think it is.

dazdaz 7th August 2008 19:50

Chiglet.Spot on. The B-58A

Back to you guys. I shall await my turn.

Sorry! I really must check the photographs that I post, I feel such a pillock. :ugh:

Sorry if I'm out of turn.

RETDPI 8th August 2008 07:42

T-28 lookalikes.
 
evans b has it spot on with the Hispano HA-100 Triana. It was designed by Willi Messerschmit's expat team and had the alternative designation Me100 for production in West Germany ( I think the Piagggio 149 won out over it ).
I've been hogging the website again. So I'm opting out on chiglets challenge for the moment.

Chiglet's challenge
 
Aermacchi MB.339 ?

chiglet 8th August 2008 17:08

In a word.....No :E
Clue, the manufacturer designed and built a few "pretty" [to my eyes at least] aeroplanes, especially in late WW11.....
watp,iktch

Groundgripper 8th August 2008 17:34

To me, that looks like the IAR-99 Soim from IAv Craiova in the mid-eighties.

Soim, incidentally, means Hawk - what a coincidence:hmm:.

I seem to remember doing a lot of comparison work on various training aircraft, including this one, in the late eighties.

Didn't know that the firm was around in the late forties/ fifties, though, romanian aviation history (like so many other subjects) not being one of my strong points.

GG, you have control. [I did think it would have lasted a tad longer...oh hum]
watp,iktch

Groundgripper 8th August 2008 18:28

Sorry about that Chiglet!


GG, you have control.
Last time someone said that to me he didn't stop screaming until he ran out of breath! Odd, it seemed quite a safe manoeuvre to me.:E

Try this for size - it looks a bit like the midget love child of a Ju-52 and a Skyvan.

Must go now, visitors!

chiglet 8th August 2008 18:49

First Impression....You made it up...it looks uglier than I do...
Second....I haven't a clue, but I 'll give it a go.....

GG, Check PMs :ok:

treadigraph 8th August 2008 21:48

Groungripper, I ain't got a clue, but I'd add Transavia (nee Bennett) into the gene pool!

treadigraph 8th August 2008 21:50

In fact is it the Junkavia Shortarse?

Jamesel 9th August 2008 03:29

I believe it's the GAFHawk 125. Original design was a highly reworked Pa-22 Tripacer:eek:

Not to be cocky, but if it is, anyone who wants has control (can't post anything just now)

FlightlessParrot 9th August 2008 04:29

I think Jamesel must be right. Wikipedia doesn't have a picture, but does include this sentence:

Certification proved elusive, however, and Hawk eventually abandoned the project without building any other examples.

I didn't know there was an aesthetic requirement in certification.

wiccan 9th August 2008 08:07

Found it on Google, but with a radial engine...:confused:
watp,iktch
ps I,m using a friends account ar work :ok:

Groundgripper 9th August 2008 10:33

Jamesel is correct - GafHawk 125 it is. Over to anyone who can for the next exciting episode, I haven't got anything to hand at present.

OK, OK did anyone else spot my deliberate mistake, right click on the picture and select properties? I must remember not to include the name of the d@#ned aircraft in the file name. That's what comes of doing it in a rush. Doh!!:{
