PPRuNE is playing games with me. My post does not come through and when I tried to resend they say it is a duplicate of a message I posted a few minutes ago.....
Yes, the same with me here.
Now it's back to normal, I think...

Focke-Wulf's Flitzer project
No...

Vamp
...and no.
Seems like it's more of a challenge than I initially thought...

Do you also have lists of people Who Will Have To Be Shot Come the Musical Revolution?
It's far uglier than a Vampire, however, and that speaks volumes!

I didn't (I followed an idea which came to me a few days ago), but there's a relation nonetheless...

I'll be darned. Ikarus 452.

Either yours or what I have seen has been flattened - yours from top and bottom, mine from the sides. Ugly - both ways.

The guess is correct (I did not expect nothing less from you!)
However I did not retouch in any way my challenge.
You can see it by comparing it with the original:


You can also do a search for "ikarus 452" and will find a result from minijets, and you will see that it has only been scaled 2x (both height and width, so no stretching on my part, I pride myself in being honest ).

RegDep has control!

Oi HappyPass,

Before you post, may I suggest that you ensure that your image properties do not reveal the challenge!!!!!!

Thanks for the reminder, LM, however I always do.
If you check the pictures you will find that all my challenges are called challenge**.jpg (the asterisks are characters put there by imageshack).
The picture in post #22154 is called "challengec.jpg"

I left the name of the picture that illustrated the solution on purpose because I wanted to prove that it was the same I found on the internet.
The quiz had already been solved before that post, so no harm done.

Re: RegDep

Don't know which one is uglier...

If you guys can make one more stab, I'll post one additional dimension to start the next page. Deal?

Thanks Reg.

Mate, I'll try your technique of a front shot only. I'm going to be watching Hitchcock's "Rear Window" shortly but will check progress regularly.

Good evening mate.

I'm thankful that all is well with your family.

Am I looking at a canard-delta configuration?
