That silhouette has an anti-roll rod similar to the Martin Baker MB-2 (I think).

Soooo....Martin Baker design David?

"Martin-Baker 12-gun fighter"?



This is described and illustrated in "Sir James Martin - The Authorised Biography" by Sarah Sharman, published by PSL in 1996 and is stated as being Martin Bakers private venture submission to Specification F.35/35. 35This may or may not be correct, as other submissions to F.35/35 were all single engined and I have seen no published record of MB submission to this Spec. Perhaps this is a typo as the MB.2 was submitted to F.34/35. The book gives powerplants to be 2x RR Merlins, length 36ft and span 50ft.

Now that you are back with us for a few mins then at least you can put some effort into coming up with some more interesting stats. So your task is:
For 2010
1. Who correctly identified the most images
2. Who posted the most images
3. Who had the highest percentage of correct id's.
Top 3 names together with actual numbers for each category
Off you go...answers later today please
Ken. If you really want that information I could give you a copy of the spreadsheet and you could work it out in no time.
