Not too difficult I can see.
Sniperton was really first, but James being the first to actually name it I will hand it to him.
So, James, you're on
(Writing this on the phone it suggests "Bond" after "James"!)

The name’s Fw190......P51vsFw190, international pilot of mystery, feared by many, adored by some.

There are rules for this one. Please try to refrain from looking up the registration painted on the wing bottom.

This is the:   The Harlow PJC-5

The Harlow PJC-5 is a derivative design from the PJC-2.  After building the PJC-2, the Harlow company designed and built a 2-place military trainer.  The PJC-5 is essentially the same airplane but with tandem seating and a bubble-style canopy, ala T-34 :: Beech Bonanza.



The PJC-5 was never sold to the military in the US, but a deal was made with India.  PJC-5 subassemblies were built up at Alhambra and then shipped to India for final assembly.  PJC-5s are apparently fairly well known in India although long gone from flying status.

DH, of course you got it but for bonus “In your face” points, what does PJC stand for?

Your turn.

I thought Harlows were purely American civilian types.

At the first sight I believed it was a much later design, perhaps from the 1950s or later, but it turned out to be from as early as 1935, the Campbell Model F. A funny plane, though, a small whale with plates for the krill on its temple. I like it.

Well done sniperton, you are correct.  :)

Designed and built in 1935 by Hayden Campbell in St. Joseph, Missouri, the Campbell F was made of all-magnesium construction and was powered by an 85 hp Ford V-8 automotive engine. The F model was equipped with a tricycle landing gear with steerable nosewheel. It is a pusher propeller "flivver" airplane, costing $1500, twin tail design, with single ignition.

Nicknamed ‘The Flying Easter Egg’, the aircraft was damaged in a demonstration flight and never repaired.



Your turn sniperton  :)

Thanks and sorry, I'm away the whole day busy with living and dead relatives, so it's better to declare it an open round.
