    Not only that, but I just noticed I called you Ralf in my last post - comes of old age - can't be blamed on liquid intake this time!

    I just tampered with it - no clue now!

    I'm off curling, so whoever gets it please continue. Just hope I get my brain unscrambled before the game !

    The undoubted masters of style, the Italians.

    Great cars, great architecture, great art, great music.

    But their beer's crap.........

    22 hours idle... must be spring - or blizzards - or...

    Well, I'll toss this one down the tube to see if anyone's awake. I'd not be surprised to see it's landed here before.

    Is is from San Diego?

  9. #4759
    No, Salinas........

  10. #4760
    Consolidated model 39 Libertyliner AKA Convair 104 (XR2Y-1)? Two prototypes built. First flight 1944, both scrapped in 1945.

    If I somehow flubbed that one up, put me in my place. Otherwise we'll press on with this:

  12. #4762
    No flubbing at all, dear boy - it was up for grabs...

    And I'll grab this wee Romanian, the Ifil-Reghin RG-6, methinks ?

  13. #4763
    RG-6 it is.

  14. #4764
    I actually have it as the Novitchi RG-6. Was Novitchi the designer or the manufacturer?

  15. #4765
    HAFC.

    Anyway, I have to declare OH - been curling, and no time to look out a horror.

    The opposition tonight was skipped by an Olympic gold medallist from 2002 - the result was sadly predictable......

  16. #4766
    Searched the RG-6 and found that Novitchi was the designer?


    And now for something completely different...

    Hi Kevin,

    pity this nice plane did not progress beyond the prototype stage.
    The Gulfstream American (AJI) Hustler 400

    snow and ice gone together with the Packers/Steelers?

    Spot on Walter.

    Yup, the winter stuff is about gone, just cold now.

    Sorry it is a light plane again.
    Forerunner of a production plane (with of course a different name/designation).
    The cabin area and vertical tail could give some clues.

    It is the PM.1 which was an advanced design for it's day. The aircraft was designed by the students at Politecnico di Milano and built by C.N.A. Later developed into the postwar MB.308.

    An easy one...

    Attachment 30911

    I'd love to see Keith Paine do one for FS.

    Nobody else biting - I'll say Percival Petrel ????

    The windows were confusing me - for some reason nearly all photos of the Q6/Petrel are taken from the port side, and don't show the small window opposite the door !

    Nice one - is that a desert landscape or just a hot day in Surrey ????

  24. #4774
    I was still trying to track this one down. Thought Petrel too but the windows were throwing me as well. The markings are odd. Italian? Maybe French?

    Percival Q.6 Petrel it is Lefty. :ernae:I am not sure of the location, but several Petrels were said to have been operated by the Egyptians and the RAF. The aircraft pictured was registered G-AFMV. The rudder markings do look odd for a British aircraft. Perhaps this example was repatriated.
