It really annoyed me because it was so familiar. I knew it was hanging there in the dark recesses. I actually put it on the list of "someday I'll post this" several eons ago, but it also has appeared here twice in varying forms before Green's offering. The first time was way back (?) in Feb. 2009 - a first posting of a challenge by someone going by the name of "wout". Powerplants have differed but the airframe is constant.

BTW, a slightly earlier post (#1200) is rather entertaining, considering where we are these days

Hee, hee, hee!
As post #1 indicates only that non-unusual/non-historically significant gliders are interdit, where does one find the subsequent amendments to the rules?

Kevin, the barrack-room lawyers are at it again !
The whole philosophy behind that early guidance from our Texan maestro was that a quiz consisting of fresh-out-of-the-wrapper machines, or endless Piper clones, would be (a) boring, and (b) rather against the ethos of a forum which is, after all, called 'Historical Wings Society'. Trouble is, all of you young whippersnappers are just too damn GOOD !! Therefore to find something that hasn't been posted before is almost impossible, resulting in the 'rules' being applied very liberally !
Those of us for whom interesting aircraft were not built after 1950, (and popular music after 1980!) will just have to accept that standards, as in all of modern life, have crumbled. O tempora, o mores....
(By the way that 'newbie', wout, for whom I have the utmost respect, thinks quite differently. And why not ? He probably likes hip-hop music too......
Eh, Walter ??)

Would a Caproni Ca.101 be a too simple guess?
