Hitachi TR.1?

Noooo!

The 1957 Lascurain Aura, Mexico (how could I miss it )

This is what happened to it

Real Aviation History and Nostalgia stuff, if you ask me.

Thought about Mexico too (hot, high...) but then I couldn't find any manufacturer's name other than the ones listed in Wikipedia...

RegDep is spot on. The Jacobs powered Lascurain Aura. A tragedy.
Over to you!

Correct HappyPass!

Edgley Optica

You know the procedure? Either you post a new challenge or, if you have nothing prepared, declare Open House. Open house is not preferred, but acceptable. If you wish advice on how to prepare challenge silhouettes, other PPRuNers are happy to help. Lightning Mate is now having vacation, but he will be back soon and, I believe, will be happy to tutor you.

The theread is yours, HappyPass

Reg

Ok, since I will be able to access my pc in the foreseeable future, I'm game!
My first time, hope to blend in well, but, as they say, only practice make perfect, apologies if it is too difficult/too easy/too stupid/too anything.
First and foremost hope to get the tags right...



An' then it's all yours, gentlemen.

G'day mate. The PZL P.45 Sokol (Falcon).

Sorry, but it'll have to be Open House. Cheers.

G'day to you (or good evening Down Under)!
Your answer is, of course, spot on.



Noyade has requested Open House.

Good afternoon HappyPass and a somewhat belated "Welcome to the thread" from me and congratulations on your first "kill" and challenge. Keep it up

I'm sorry that you've been ploughing a rather lonely furrow today, with more than the usual number of players being absent for one reason or another. I've been very busy during my usual "breaks" during the day and plagued with an unreliable connection at home!

Anyway, enough excuses; here's one for you to play with!

Good afternoon Sinco...the Maeda Ku-1 from Japan I believe?

And if I may just add my belated welcome to HappyPass. As Sinco has said its very quiet at present, but you will see if you look back over the thread, it can get very hectic! Hope you stick with it and enjoy the fun . Ken

Hi Trevor
Thanks for that. Unfortunately I've been pretty busy workwise to so not really had a chance to look in until now. At least I'm working from home this week, so life is a little easier! Anyway for HappyPass and yourself, plus anyone who may be looking in, here's a snazy little number:

Thanks, SincoTC!
I've been quite busy today, so don't worry too much about me (by the way I think I forgot to log out...).
Just casting an eye from time to time.
Best regards

Good shot HappyPass!

Interesting to see that skytrain has redacted one picture from his silhouette but left small marks of the folded wing-tips in to the lower right corner .

Having a household day today, maybe back later. Cheers.
