So you're doing your usual morning hang gliding, and see this below your dangling legs:

Mystery Circle  of Aircraft.jpg
Each of the 12 "hours" is the same aircraft silhouette, with parts of the aircraft included.

What aircraft is it?

Where is this whole setup located?

A prize awaits!

I know... but won’t reveal so someone else gets a chance.
I will say that this forum is the place to display those planes and
as for location, it rhymes with Canton.

Paul - note the shape of the horizontal stabilizer.

The fact that there are twelve aircraft strategically placed is also a clue.

It's a British transport?

To me it looks like a radial engines light aircraft. I was guessing transport or possibly the Beaufighter but I think it at one time filled a night fighter role so I guess that isn't correct either.

Yup, should have looked closer! :encouragement:

OK, OK I got it! But, it could be one of three models, Right? :confusion:

After being a cheetah myself and using google I found two possibilities that both seem to fit the bill for being the correct aircraft; one named after a university and one named after an admiral.

Elliot's picture of the guy in dark glasses gives a *big* hint to the manufacturer.
No, it’s not Hendrix Aviation :rolleye:

ding ding ding ding - we have a W I N N A H!

Avro Anson.

Now, where is that circle of Ansons located?

Hopefully on British soil somewhere! That would be my uneducated guess! :jester:
