Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

Evening Ken. Canadian or American? Or neither?

I still prefer to use my own resources where I can

Same here. Unfortunately I let my resources down....

[Noyade]

Beech 18...?

Sorry for the delay everyone, but those who have "hung" around will have realised that pprune has been down for maintenance. Interestingly the format appears to have changed a little as I have not had to type in the 6 character verification code. I'm ever hopeful that's been taken away for good!

Well done Graeme...yes of course its a Beech 18. It was my pathetic attempt to resurrect the Noyade 500!

So all yours Noyade.

So it has, yipee!! Somebody better let Carson1934 know, as that used to be his bête noire from what I remember, let's hope it has gone for good

[Noyade]

Thanks Ken.

Have to be Open House I'm sorry.

Cheers
Graeme.

Good morning all

Graeme has declared Open House....LM, you had 12 lined up yesterday, so how about No 12?

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning / evening.

No.12 it is then.

Back in about 45 minutes.

[skytrain10]

Morning LM. A drone, UAV or a project?

[Lightning Mate]

Now out of class and you have my undivided attention.

The challenge was a missile.

[RegDep]

Morning gentlemen. I am back in circulation and wonder what is the extension of the tail here. Is this a wind tunnel model of something?

[Lightning Mate]

Welcome back Reg - I hope you are well.

It is not a wind-tunnel model, although I can see why you asked that.

I'll leave it up a little longer before I reveal what the bit at the back is.

It's quite small isn't it........

edit to say the bit at the back is irrelevant and appears on the original picture but I'm not sure why.

[Lightning Mate]

I'll add that this thing was way ahead of it's time in it's guidance system, at least the model D was.

[skytrain10]

The challenge was a missile.

Just going to look at my book of missiles!

[RegDep]

Henschel Hs 293
Air-to-Ship Television Guided Gliding Bomb, Model D

Correction:

Henschel Hs 294
Air-to-Ship, Wireless Guided, Gliding Bomb, 1941

[Lightning Mate]

Bingo.

The model D was to be TV guided would you believe. Quite an advanced system for it's day don't you agree!

RegDep has the thread.

[RegDep]

Thanks LM.

Will have the thread taken hostage for a moment, have to sort things out first. Just came in, sat down and felt a need to improve my score average after three days off line....

Just a moment (or max. two).

Here we go.

[Lightning Mate]

Twin ducted fans?

[RegDep]

No and yes.

[Lightning Mate]

Just one then?

A project, or did it fly?

[RegDep]

No.

It was a concept.

And thanks for asking, I am doing just fine. Nothing new and bygones are bygones.
