1.Handley Page O/400

2.Sopwith Tabloid

3.Pfalz DIII?

Charwalla sounds stupid enough to be British or Australian, therefore i assume it has something to do with Tea or Beer

because you got all of them exactly right, i will give you the bonus answer because you are soooooo close.

the term Carwalla is an indian (outsourcing kind) term for a tea servant; one who brings you tea. so when you are in a pub or something in india and you want tea, call out "Charwalla!" and you will soon have a piping hot cup of earl grey.

PS
thank you for helping bunny in his quest for world domination.

Hi Smidsy,

>so when you are in a pub or something in india and you want tea, call out "Charwalla!" and you will soon have a piping hot cup of earl grey.

And what to call for a piping hot cup of Darjeeling? ;-)

Which type is responsible for the wingtip shadow next to the Pfalz? Could this be an Albators D.II?

(Very nice Pfalz, by the way - highly attractive paintjob, and I love the wood propeller :-)

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)

Quiz #2

1. Siemens Schuckert DIV (sp?)
2. Vickers FB12
3. Some stupid French plane

Bonus Q: looks french too

SMIDSY · « **Reply #5 on:** January 01, 2006, 11:34:24 AM »

furball, you got #1 correct. a slice of ham to you.

PS
i didnt make that model so i have no idea what the other plane is. i make smaller models and use them in a turn-based dogfighting game called "airodrome".

Furball · « **Reply #6 on:** January 01, 2006, 11:38:09 AM »

dead certain that #2 is a Vickers FB.

FB26?

SMIDSY · « **Reply #7 on:** January 01, 2006, 11:41:09 AM »

yes, the 26. better known as the vampire. it was an armored trench strafing aircraft. the difference between it and the 12 is that the 12 has a gap beween the "fuselage" and the upper wing, the 26 does not. there are other differences but that is the most noticable. quite beautiful if you ask me.

looks like a WWI P-38

#3 in the second quiz looks suspiciously like the Spirit of St. Louis mocked up as a fighter.

The machine gun is a Madsen, chambered in Russian 7.62mm semi-rimmed, hence the large curvature to the magazine.

Here's another Madsen chambered in 8mm (7.92 mm).
