I thought I'd try another Douglas! :)

Your control Brian.

Looks very much like the Victa R-2?

Yes, the Victa R2, designed by Luigi Pellarini, who also designed the Transavia Airtruk. Your control.

Ah, that would explain the "Pawnee struts". Just couldn't keep away from ugly!

Thanks Brian, here's a bit more (from 1988) on the R2...

Here's another challenge - a better looking Australian....

Is that the FSRW?

It is indeed the Smith FSRW-1. Well done TheiC, your control. :ok:

Thanks...

I do have a challenge but can't post until this evening UK time at the earliest.

So I'll say OPEN HOUSE but will pick it up myself if I can.

The next challenge:

I'll go with the Cessna 407 Brian. I did a bit Googling and I was very surprised to learn it never flew?

The Cessna 407 is correct:ok:. Noyade has control.

Thanks mate.

Another...

Kawanishi H8K2 Emily

Your control....

C'mon mate, are you serious? The only "clever" thing I did there was take a famous photograph, pump up the contrast and darken it. Smoke still pouring from the outer port wing, where the fourth engine was shot off, with a hint of Japanese roundels still visible and it sat there for nearly two days with no questions asked. So then I posted the original.

Perfectly legit to me! :)

Oh dear...............


Personally I don't see what was wrong with Noyades' challenge.


But still, I don't play here so my opinion is worthless.

You're right. I flew off the handle. Sorry.

Not a problem mate, can't let the Japs get to us! Here's another to make up for Emily...

So, why the long face?
