Although it's quiet, the thread view rate has gone up.

At the time of this post there are 8585 views to hit the record.

I have no doubts we will crack this before the weekend.

Do you all have the big one million card ready? Don't worry - I have made one.

I will try to make one... just need to find a nice idea for it.

I tried to honour your efforts, but a wiki search turned out nothing, and I also browsed through all (*all*) U.K. and German planes in Aviastar (tail seems fairly British while nose fairly German)... I don't think it can possibly be American...

I think I'll try again after supper...

As for the sauce, there you go!


...whoops! wrong one...

What the hell is "gasolene" ?

Is that the same as petroleum spirit?

Or maybe red ketchup..........

I guess you had your Mercedes painted black with a hint of red and asked for a custom engine which runs exclusively on JP-7...

Only joking:-

low volatility, non waxing liquid especiallly formulated to leak through the tiniest gap in an A-12 / SR-71 skin.

Whats that wierd thing on the nose? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before. I take it that is an A-12?

What thing, the Mercedes logo?

Original photo is from Virginia Aviation Museum.

Edit: I've finished searching through aviastar except for Russia and USA.
I think I'll leave this one to someone else...

Back to the challenge:-
There are a lot of similarities with the Keystone K-47C, but I'm not convinced.
