Re: Bitzer project
I may be wrong, but I think the aircraft that didn't have the airline emblem on and only had the flag where used for government.

Re: Bitzer project
Is it not just that when country flags are used the post end of the flag is always at the front? So seemingly reversed on the Stbd side?
Drawings usually depict the Port side of the aircraft & have a note 'Port (or Left Hand) drawn, Stbd opposite'.

Re: Bitzer project
I've just checked a couple of others, and that rule does apply Keith.
Also true, Ben; Air Force in this case.
Just to summarise; my image was from a Turkish Air Force Viscount. We have established that the flag is reversed on the starboard fin, so my image was valid. Unfortunately, the artist applied the stbd flag to the port fin surface in my book. This was not evident in the extract which I included.
I would have stuck to my guns, but I clouded the water having seen the apparent history of THY's logo evolution; this was disproved by Pete's linked images. "c" was therefore dropped from the quiz, so I'm only asking for a,b,d,e,f.

Re: Bitzer project
I thought that more people would have been in this, but thought doesn't translate to actuality.
It's a pity, as I'd set up some really curly ones for the future. Not worth posting now.
There were two entries, and I warmly thank you both.
Kevin Farnell got 4/5, and I say that's a gold badge.
PeteP scores silver with 3+/5 on account of the THY thing.
ANSWERS:
a..Air France
b..Air Zimbabwe (neither got this)
c..Turkish Air Force (dropped from quiz)
d..British Air Services Cambrian
e..Air Canada
f..Royal Dutch KLM
Step forward, Gentlemen.......

Re: Bitzer project
No Birthdays today. As I said in the Dambusters post, I'm recently home from the street
Christmas party, and I'm feeling generous.
Again, no animation. Easy peasy, I expect everyone to get a badge for this.

Re: Bitzer project
Magnificent response, Gentlemen.
I'm not going to clog up Ben's Forum with all the virtual badges, so please share nicely.
Allan, Joe (Blanston12), Den (511Flyer), Simondix, Brian Franklin, all get a diamond award each:
Eric, Ben and PeteP earned themselves gold:
There's hardly any difference between the answers, but as the seating arrangement did appear in one shot, I think that was enough to differentiate between the variants.
We have an esteemed birthday today, so I'll leave it another 24 hours before posting the whole image, in case there are other latecomers.

Re: Bitzer project
For any who needed to know:
The military seating, and possibly military door shapes, define it as a C-47, but I happily accepted DC3 for gold.

Re: Bitzer project
How did I miss this one I've checked in every day but somehow this passed me by.
If I had seen it, I might have thought it too simple and suspected a Lisunov Li-2 (Cab).
Oh well.
