I've now got the luxury of a couple up my sleeve!
I see LM's light is still on, but he hasn't put one of his "lots" up yet, I know he's been having log-out problems lately!
Edited to say I've just returned from a long phone call and I see that it's still an Open House, but just skytrains light remains on, so here's one for him and/or the night/early shift.

Hi hesham,
That's one of the entrants in the 1941 "super bomber" competition that led to the Convair B-36, the Boeing Model 384

Good morning gentlemen,
I had hoped that we would have heard from hesham by now, it being well after 1pm in Cairo! He may of course be on shift-work, but according to the guidelines, he should have taken that into account when posting.
As this type of situation is not about a delayed response to a question that only the poster of the challenge can answer; maybe we should consider a further time-limit "rule" of say six hours, to cover those instances that just require the confirmation of an answer, where that answer can be unambiguously verified as correct by two other forum members, say by finding and posting a link to the original image, The new rule would give them the power to award the challenge by proxy.
I know that Graeme has chastised us on several occasions for not carrying on without his OK, when an answer has come in just after he had said he was closing down fo the night!!
What are your views on the subject?

I'd second TC.
A poster may have a very legitimate reason to his silence, and the rest of us going on does not mean a reprimand or offense of any kind. Six hours is a good time, not too long, not too short.

Just logged on...I must have been psychic!
With regard to time limits, personally I think we should leave as-is. How many times has one of us posted something before going to bed and checked again in 8 or 9 hours time in the morning only to find it was answered 10 mins after we posted? Its certainly happened to me on a number of occasions. Anyway I'll defer to the majority on this, but just my thoughts for what its worth.

There's a slight difference between sites on the actual year, suffice to say design work was started mid WWI, it did fly, but not until nearly the end of that conflict!
