Thanks Sinco!
Nice and easy one, just because I can't afford to risk a challenge to last overnight (busy day tomorrow).

Supper finished ; now what have we here?

Forward-swept wing, or a trick of perspective?

Maybe the Convair A-44, later name changed I believe to XB-35 ??

No tricks, WYSIWYG.
And in this case what you get is a sound "yes, correct!"
(was -53 btw, just for the record - and Mel's list )

Thanks HP; I may have solved your "overnight dilemma", but it's given me one now, 'coz I aint got anything ready to go !!

I'll get straight onto it, but it may take a while, so I'll call an Open House while I do it, in case there's anybody lurking in a different time zone with something to offer. If it's still OH when I'm done I'll post it.

If your off to bed soon, I think I might know where I can safely get one !!

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
Anyway, yes, I'm going to call it a day now, so feel free to take another from www you-know-where dot you-know-what
Bye!

G'day Graeme,

Well done mate! It is the Focke-Achgelis Fa.269 helicopter of 1943

I had a sneaky feeling that you'd make short work of that one, I can sod-off to bed now

Edit: Bugger it!! Had to restart my router and missed him!

Noyade has requested an Open House

Good morning Ton,

I do believe that's the HS-141 Inter-city VTOL airliner project ?

Thanks Ton,

I'm off to work in a few moments, but will check in and monitor my challenge (a project) when I get there in about thirty minutes!



Edit: Off to work now, back online in half an hour!

Ton; I Just saw your post as I logged off!

Yes mate it is the Merckle E 130

I was hoping you'd think, surely it won't be from that site again!! I guess it'll have to go on the back-burner for a while


teusje has control, catchya later!

Thank you TC.

I had been browsing that site this morning so I recognised it right away.

So not a V/STOL this time.
