Silhouette challenge
The thought process of an obsessive/compulsive plane spotter
(Thinks to himself upon seeing S’lands silhouette…) ![Smilie](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)

“Dammit! I’ve seen that before somewhere. Where? I bet it’s French. I’ve seen that tail before? Clever man, he’s going for the French again! Dewoitine! That’s it ! A Dewoitine.”
Looks and looks. “Dammit! Nothing matches. I’m sure there was a French Marine floatplane with that tail!” Finds it, the Bernard H.110. “There’s gotta be more Bernards than this, surely?! “Ahh, here we go, the Bernard 260!”
“Goddammit!! It has an open cockpit!?? Wait a minute, wait a minute, what’s this?..” Reads the line which states that it “underwent numerous modifications during its test programme”. “That’s it, that’s it! Gotta be!? Now stop mucking about, get your answer posted, don’t forget to put a question mark at the end and take your son to school!”

Thank's S'land! Stop beating yourself up mate, I'm sure we both realise that there are bigger problems in life than the Bernard 260 with or without an enclosed cockpit! ![Smilie](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I was disappointed to find this next challenge as I have an old Putnam that promised me it was "comprehensive" yet missed this one for some reason?

Ridge Runner,
"LM... what is your reference about?"
It's my offer to redraw line drawings as silhouettes for anyone who wishes. So far three people have taken up the offer.
Noyade,
I'm looking at the angled rectangles in the front view of your latest offering.... Looks like a folding wing job?

My choice would be the Kokusai Ta-Go, a one-way light attack aircraft flown in Japan 1945.

To be fair it is a unique planform... unmistakeable. A nice machine if only it had been built.. and flown! Like an overgrown A-5! Nice!
Just waiting for evansb.... RR
