To repeat the Words from the Mountain ((my emphasis) :-
Senior Pilot said (What Cockpit post # 1350 07/01/20) "Quite simply, you can post and discuss to your heart's content from the moment a challenge appears, but the declaration of a winner will not occur until 24 hours has elapsed. This applies to all three competition threads: a reference Wiki also covers the airfield thread.I would emphasise that all threads should respect that this is the Aviation History & Nostalgia forum with an expectation of historic images and/or subjects please."
Come back at 13:02 Thursday Board Time (12:02 Zulu) for an update......................... both dook and I have run into trouble mod-wise relatively recently and so must be above suspicion.
One answer is to set fiendishly hard challenges of course - next time I'll start with a close-up of a wing nut , then gradually expand the pictures over 24 hours - perhaps then a bracing wire, then a wheel, then a shot of the rudder - then when someone gets it we can restart immediately..................
