A miracle happened today
Miracle, miracle!
This is the first time since December 5th that I'm permitted to log in. That's why you didn't hear from me any more although I knew quite a few of your challenges. How frustrating....

Let's hope it works normally from now on

Hi LM.....Poland it is.
This is the 2nd type to be built by this company to bear the same name. The first was built between 1925 and 1927. The aircraft itself used the same 18hp engine as its predecessor.

Well done Graeme, it is the Zalewski WZ-XII Kogutek II, derived from the WZ-XI Kogutek. 
Here she is in the flesh....
For more information, particularly on the WZ-XI go to:
Google Translate
Noyade has control

Thanks Ken. Poland was certainly a lot easier than Aerofiles.
Not sure about this one. Would you classify this as silhouette? If so, I think it opens up new possibilities? If not, I can replace it.

I'm all for ringing the changes. I think it's nice to have a change from 3-view black-white/white black.

Yeah, it's pretty easy, crude but easy. Look for a line drawing, making sure the 'guts' are white and hopefully the 'outside' is darker or make it darker and then 'negativise' (is that a word?) with Irfanview (Sablatnic's tip from a while back).
Got your message LM, will have to reply tomorrow, gotta get to work early.
Couple of clues for the morning shift...
It was a Canadian project from 1961. The same image is on the internet, I put it there.
And one11, if you're still about, I found your Pemberton Billing Durotofin in No.51. This illustration is from No.68...
Nite!

To me they look more like turbofans. If the scale is anything to go by the intakes are considerably larger than any turbojet I can think of, or come to that, turbofans of that era. However I found one article which commented that the -14 variant of the JT3D would need a wider intake than previous versions. So for the time being I'm sticking with the CL-99.
