You mean this one?



An insane silhouetting project because of picture quality.

A mentioned it as my stab at your previous one, and it kept bugging me so I did it….

All yours

That's the one I mean.

It's on the en.valka.cz site.

I certainly would not have tackled that as a silhouette.

Got it from somewhere else, and you are correct. I just had to find where the walls and ceiling are, to know where it is safe to be.

But I am. A star teacher wishes his pupils to grow better than the teacher. That's gives the teachers eternal praise and honour. And exploring boundaries is what is for the pupils.

Well, I had a pupil who I trained in 1975 and who went on to be the leader of the Red Arrows!

I will only be able to monitor intermittently from 1500 Prune time, so here's one to stop you being bored.

I had to make it an easy one - I will not be on line much this afternoon.

Back to you.

If that's got a hidden central fin it looks remarkably similar to the Bereznyak-Isayev BI rocket fighter, without the front cannons.

I does, doesn't it? And it has.

But why, oh why, without the cannons?

Because they are inside the silhouette.

Hehee

A'rtnoon gentlemen,

That looks like a BOLKHOLVITINOV BI ??

I'm just grabbing a coffee and then it's back to work with no chance of monitoring, so it'll have to an Open House if correct, sorry

I thought Bereznyak-Isayev BI was the same as BOLKHOLVITINOV BI, Viktor Fedorovich Bolkhovitinov being the boss of Messrs Bereznya and Isayev. But I stand to be corrected.

I'll make a bold call: As LM has indicated that he needs to go, and has subsequently logged off, I'll declare Open House.

How about that, gentlemen?

No, you did not. I did what I did, in the interest and spirit of the thread. Crack RR's challenge and you are on .

So,

Control given at 1514 and OH declared at 1546.

That's a delay of 32 minutes!!. Perhaps we should now amend the rules to:

"If no response to a challenge within 30 minutes, Open House shall be declared".

I get off this thread.
