I thought I did mate until five minutes ago!!
Mate, I'm starting to feel very sorry for you. Do you ever get a break from the factory?

Gentlemen,

Please refer to RDs' post 30245 page 1513 and then check AH&N new thread "Aircraft Identification".

BTW, Graeme has the thread.

Thanks mate, but better make it open house. Now, we both know Reg has a sleeve...

Staying with silhouettes and not going (back) to pictures works fine, as they are not that easy to crack just with technology.
True. As Ken (where is he?) once said it's a unique identification thread because of it.

But I also think there lies the problem...people don't/won't/can't make silhouettes. Can't blame them for that....

Agreed, and it will always be a rate-limiting factor, but silhouetting (once in a while, if not semi-professionally re. Mate) is not difficult and is available for all, as are the "photobuckets". (I did my first ones in Photobucket and as you have demonstrated, felt pen and a scanner is a very efficient way).

Part of the "problem" is that a newcomer may feel that s/he is ridiculed, which our banter sometimes looks to unsensitized folks, as (or although) we usually carefully make stress tests to people, ourselves included.

I would not give up the banter, though, a frienly (and, at times witty ) banter is the salt and honey of this thread. And we can make sure that we are understood in this respect.

Correct Graeme! Convair NX2, the nuclear bomber project. "Our Atomic Plane".

Over to you!

Thanks Reg. Good comments you've made on the previous page. I'm drinking less, so the banter should be less from me.
Not as big as mine though
We are talking about sleeves?!

Empty them....open house!

Don't be so silly..........

I'm drinking less too - only because I find myself spilling more and more these days.
