Well done Reg with the new thread. :ok::ok:

Lightning Mate 2nd Aug 2011 21:34


the AquaGlide?

Ken has the thread. :ok:

Coo :ooh: page one, what a lot of space :cool:!!!

I'm sure we all understand and appreciate the Mod's decision and thank them for allowing Silhouette Challenge to grow to the size it did, but equally, I think that it was a very popular attraction for the Forum judging by the number of views it achieved!

That said, it would be nice if the old thread could be "Stickyfied" for a while, so that lurkerrs can still browse it, also, so that it can be referred to when checking against Mel's list to verify information. This is not so easy with the old "What Cockpit" threads (I-III) now they're deep in the Archives, seems like only recently that they disappeared from the tabbed listings!

Here's to the next million!!!

Well done for kicking it off Reg :ok:; now give us one of your famous predictions for the arrival of Page 100 :E!!

Good Night, Afternoon and Morning to all Silhouetters and Lurkers worldwide. Long live Silhouette Challenge II :D:D

Good morning Mate,

As my question/comment to you

That's from your days in The Saudi Kingdom, Mate.
became the Famous Last Words of the one and only original Silhouette Challenge, can you enlighten us here where the picture was taken.

And good morning skytrain!

skytrain10 3rd Aug 2011 06:54

And morning to you Reg:ok:

Lightning Mate 3rd Aug 2011 07:17

Morning Reg. :)


can you enlighten us here where the picture was taken.

It's an Omani Air Force Jaguar photographed at Muscat, Oman.

All were flown by RAF or ex-RAF pilots. There were no low flying rules, so hooliganism was always the order of the day.

Google U-tube videos for Omani low flying Jaguars. :ok:

skytrain10 3rd Aug 2011 07:19

Morning David...I said it was Oman!

RegDep 3rd Aug 2011 07:26
