Sometimes I wonder Mate if some the lurkers (that are many) think that we are a small self-sufficient group, who does not want more participants. If so, we should once in a while (like we have done in the past) make it known that we would love new people to come and play. I'd love to have more people, competitive personalities or just some who like to rev their brains. It did a lot of good when HappyPass came, and it would just be very good to have some like him every month.

Staying with silhouettes and not going (back) to pictures works fine, as they are not that easy to crack just with technology.

Edit: Some people may be shy because our way of bantering, but when I compare all three challenge threads in AH&N with many more around, we are the bunch respecting our fellow PPRuNers, all without exception.

I'll throw up a new thread under AH&N as an invitation and we'll see what the response is.

In the meantime it's probably time to accept Graemes' OH - do you agree?

Only me and RR are here mate, and I'm not sure what thread he is on at the moment.

You can always post a repeat......it's not against the rules.

Back soon.

At first I instinctively thought this was an amphibian, but now I'm not so sure.

Unless the undercarriage could be completely removed....

The keen vision of a fighter pilot!!

It is listed as amphibious and I believe that was the ultimate intention, it was built and flown, but in fact it never got it's hull wet!

Not a Menasco LM!

I should add that the undercarriage was designed to be retactable, but I dunno if it ever did!

I can't see how that could retract with its' simple 3 link system!

Maybe it could only lift clear of the water.
