Thanks Martin! Please, please stand up, there is no need to kneel before me. Actually, I amazed myself with that one...

Sorry, but I'm still working with profiles. I got this one from the net. It was originally in colour and required some positive contrast as well as the usual negative gamma.

Whatdoya think? David?...

Should I first pop all the haphazard shots that I made at the Rogozarski?

Reg, it's been a long day. I'm gonna leave it there, in the hands of the "day" shift!...

Night.

Quick: Were more than one built?

Is this Silhouette from a replica?

Hawker?

Could even be a (Boeing -) Stearman, but the gear does not fit...., but could explain the smug on Graeme's face when he was talking about number built.

Edit: Shoot! He's gone.

Gone through Consolidated, too. You tell what this blasted kit is.

N.A.F. N3N3 Canary......
Hi all - been tied up today so not had a chance to look. It certainly looks like the N3N3 but there is no tailwheel on the silhouette - perhaps there were some without, but the only pictures I've seen all have them fitted.

tailwheel on the silhouette
That's why I asked if it was a replica: The covered spring-like thing in the tail skid looks to me newer than from end 20s (which I kinda think the a/c comes from).

C'mon guys - eess seemples.

I can't post images because of a photobucket glitch which I can't resolve at the moment. I am not prepared to OH again, so sort it out you lot.
