Well done, sir. The malt and chaser are lined up on the bar for you. Thirsty weather over there ????

Thanks. Yes, the heat has arrived. We won't see less than 90F during the day until late Sept.
Here is a big beastie to ponder...
Dearie me, what a mess - aft of the trailing edge it looks like a professional aeroplane - but up front .......it's Barnum & Bailey .
That 45 degree boosted rudder had me thinking along the lines of Blackburn or Fairey....something British, but now I'm not so sure. Leaning more toward
This one had something in common with a post war jet...
She ended her days in the waters of the Pacific off the coast of Mexico...
Right! This is the Douglas Cloudster airliner. There was also a post war Douglas Cloudster II.
Here is a more modern quirky job-
That's a Ryan Navion that has had extensive modifications to become a flying test bed of some sort. I've done a lot of research on Navion's as I am currently modelling one for FSX but I have never seen that photo before. I'd be interested to learn it's purpose.

It's an Ivy League Special......
It is a one-off Navion testbed to research airflow. It was called the Navion "USTI".

Thanks for the info Moses but I am going to have to declare OH as I don't have anything to offer at the moment.

Interesting, Kevin. The UTSI (University of Tennessee Space Institute) was originally, I think, the VRA developed by Princeton, before those dang Tennesseans got their mitts on it , hence my Ivy League reference !

Ah, thanks for that Mike. Was trying to sort out it's proper lineage.
No nibbles? This is a REAL common trainer. Don't let the one-off engine selection fool you...
Not a Cornell. Some some reason those wacky Canadians decided to reengine this standard trainer.
Sorry about that. Had a junior moment! Was thinking something else when you said Cornell. Must be the heat...
Better double up on the drinks then to cover both the Fairchild and Cornell mention.
Thanks Kevin. Could do with a little of your heat over here..........
A Catalina on steroids....
LeO H-47.0 (sometimes reffered to as the H-470)
Spot-on, sir. Over to you.
Here's one to ponder
Hi DHC2Pilot :salute:
My vote goes to the 1986 LG-150 homebuilt from France (Leglaive-Gauthier LG-150) using parts of aircraft such as Cessna 150 (main u/c), Rallye (nosewheel), Emeraude (wings), Gardan GY80 Horizon, Heintz/Zenith HR200
