    I think the yellow thingy is most probably the Fisher Horizon 2 ultralight.

    No not a Zlin.

    A hint. It is from a country in southern Europe.

    Ok guys, here is my entry to the thread. I do not have anything but instantly recognizable aircraft on my computer, and I´m too stupid to think of anything to google:eek:

    This is, however, something I´ve shot on my wanderings around. What is it? It should be very, very easy for anyone that has done the museums of Europe!

    I was told about two years ago, that potentially airworthy examples might be had in the former Checaslovia. They were, apparantly licence built copies of the original Jupiter. I have not done any reasearch myself into the subject, so can only take that comment at face value. However, if true, it would be fantastic!

    Ok , how about this?

    You are probably all going to laugh yourselfs to death, but this is is my best guess:eek:
    I think Propstrike´s entry is a Pietenpol Aircamper Biplane trying to look like a Consolidated PT-3. So a replica PT-3 based on a Pietenpol Aircamper Biplane.

    Guess I´m not even close, but it is sure to be american going by the hat visable on the fuselage.

    I just want to thank you guys for this thread. The research going on here to identify the aircraft and locations are way above my head, but I really, really like the photos and the detective work. Thanks again guys.

    (not refrigerated)

    Take it up to 15.000+ feet, and you do not have to worry about refrigeration:p:D:D

    They are probably the only aircraft other than the A-10 Warthog that suffer bird-strikes from behind!

    Well, you can add the Airbus A340-200/300 to that list. You should listen to the HF over the Atlantic to get all the prove you need:D

    Just to make the point again. There was NO formation flying and (hence) station keeping at night over western Europe. There was NO formation flying involved at any time! The crew did not even receive formation flying instruction at advanced or HCU’s!! The lack of formation flying training proved to have some ‘interesting’ consequences when the RAF started daylighth attacks later in the war.

    You only need to read some of the multible books about RAF Bomber Command during the war years to find out that there was NO formation flying involved at night.

    I have 2 complete engines and two bottom ends (with cranks) available. Sitting near White Waltham, Berkshire (EGLM), no reasonable offer refused!

    🙂

    Sorry I missed this thread the first time around.

    Which mark are they? How far gone are they? And how high is reasonable for the lot?? PM me with the details.
