Morning all

Back from work in the early hours and too late to play; starting again early this am and not going to have much free time.

I found LM'a challenge photo over breakfast and offer the link as a further clue for the others!
Mystery Aircraft? - Page 1044 - RC Groups

It's a cached page and the trail seems to end there, as all other pages on that site return a "can't display" message ! However, it does say it's NOT French or Belgian

From David's responses to HP, It seems it's not German, British, American or Russian.

Oh well, off to work now; good luck guys!! Good Challeng mate

Morning all.

That's a different approach TC!

It's now a race to the finish......

Always found that thread very hard to follow Trevor.

Open house if so.....

Good afternoon / evening mate.

The Cant 23 it is.

Graeme has requested Open House.

Good grief mate!

It tells me it's a jpeg, but both Photoshop and Illustrator inform me it has suffered a parsing problem.

However, I have converted it to TIF format and it works.

How about a re-post, because that's impossible to decipher!!!

Morning all!!

It should go to buttrick...he came up with the Me-264
Just to clarify, i genuinely felt Skytrain got it as he mentioned the important "steam" element of the machine. No hard feelings, Buttrick!

So where are we with this, everyone? All I can see is a muddle of colour posted by Buttrick!

My thoughts exactly Martin.

This is not a silhouette challenge at all.

Morning all
Buttrick presumably knows there was a problem with his posting in view of his comment "Photobucket misbehaving". As he is now offline I would suggest Open House.

Disagree mate.

Let's see exactly what he's going to do about it.

He could have just said Photobucket problem and either withdrawn it and replaced it, or declared OH himself.

Might just as well be this:

Disagree mate.
Just my views David. We'll wait for him to come back then.

Yours views are appreciated.

I'll agree with you very shortly because I am rather infuriated and it's probably better that I leave the thread at the moment.

OK -I've calmed down.

Votes for OH:

Me - yes
Ken - ?
Martin - ?

Let's put an end to this silliness.

PMs for you both very shortly.

Since Ken has already suggested it, that's three out of three.

I won't take the OH, so it's between the two of you.
