Good evening evansb,

I see your light is still on, so I may just catch you before you turn in!

Is it the Jona J.10 ?? I found a very similar drawing, but it had a radial up front!

It'll have to be Open House please if correct, as I'm not going to be able to monitor today, sorry

Yes indeed, SincoTC The Jona J.10, (Magni-Jona J.10bis) was originally powered by a radial in the nose, but later had two Isotta Franchini W1518 motors, and a redesigned vertical stabiliser. The curved belly was designed to house a torpedo. As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Good afternoon Bri.

Not the Timm 150, but the 120, so close enough for me mate.

You have control.

It is ''Russki Vityaz'' (Russian Knight), a.k.a. ''le Grand'' or ''Bolshoi Baltiiski''.

buttrick, here's a permalink to instructions on image posting

http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post2279455

I subscribe to Photobucket (the free version), it was very easy to set up and intuitive to use, and I never had a problem with it, but I am sure the others work equally well, too. I just do not have experience on them.

Good call buttrick

There is a "Sticky" on the AH & N main page with three pages of tips on posting images, but this is what I did for image posting:

1/ Create a free account on Photobucket and upload the image (JPEG or GIF).

2/ Double click the thumbnail image that will appear, it will come up as a full-size image, to the right of this will be a block of Links, click on the Direct Link URL and this will copy it to your clipboard.

3/ Create your Silhouette Challenge post and insert the image using the format [img]Paste the link here using Ctrl V [/img]

4/ Preview/submit your post

Note the SQUARE brackets and don't have any carriage returns!

The image should be no wider than 850 pixels, I usually use around 640 (re-sizing can be done on Photobucket) but I usually get it right using MS picture editor.

Good luck

Edited to say Guten Tag Reg, you posted while I was typing , off to work now, will try and get back during breaks!
