Zis-Zat dining room calling table ready.

Don't you ever eat Reg?

Did you know that a fighter pilots breakfast is razor blades and Avtur?

Sure I eat. Good that you don't know what I used to do for my living. Hence you cannot know what I have for lunch .

No idea about your challenge.

Is that a clue?

Evening Reg!
It's an A-10 "Warthog".
Well... at least that's what google image search says... because I can't believe it's a cocktail glass...



Jokes aside, nice service this one, one more to add to the list that also includes TinEye, Gazopa and the like (usefeul with photos, definitely not with silhouettes though...).

Re the challenge (seriously), no idea, going to bed now, see you tomorrow afternoon.

Wow! What sort of google search is that HP? Obviously I'm behind the times.

Reg, 'looks' a little like a Fairey Spearfish. Is this a British project, 1939-45?

Dunno mate. Now looks a little like a Douglas Skypirate. American?

(I'm assembling a new bike and the sun is rapidly disappearing - return later.)

Not American, Graeme.

The maiden flight of the followup-version of the challenge was five weeks before the one of Skypirate's.

Graeme, TinEye can be a useful site for locating the source of images, but as HP says, it ain't much good at finding silhouettes.

Not in the mood for a quick win Mate? You should have the upper hand on this one, given the site(s) you have recently used for your challenges .

And it depends on which way you count.

Time for a re-post methinks mate, to overfly the banter and put it on this page.
