Built and flown and crashed.

Good morning gentlemen.

Silhouette Challenge Statistics.

The thread started almost three years ago to the day, and now has 932050 views to its' credit.

That's an average of 25890 per month.

There are 67950 remaing to the magic one million viewings.

At the present average rate this means that the thread should hit the million at the end of July........

I for one shall open a bottle of something.

Evening viewers!

Ken, it looks very much like the Russian Phoenix LKhS-4.

If it is, Open House.

Cheers mate!

There's a very good reason for that Graeme - it is the LKhS-4

Noyade has declared Open House

Afternoon Gents

That looks like a Siebel Si 201 ??

Can't stop as breaks over and I'm away from computer, so Open House please if correct.

Hi LM, you could help us get to that target (and open the bottle sooner)!!
