proposed SAAB J-27 (L-27) fighter. What a beauty it would have been! You have control.
By the way, there was a great documentary on Swedish aviation on the Discovery Knowledge channel this morning. Some excellent film! They normally repeat and repeat so watch out for it! RR

...and there was I thinking that I would need an open house to post this...

"Do we join the dots?"

Possibly....but maybe not......

Constellation, Shooting Star or Mooney?

Or even a pair of Meatboxes?

Good evening to you Mechta, and welcome to our world.

Unfortunately you are incorrect on all four counts.

Good Evening Lightning Mate and everyone else who lurks here.

I was thinking C-5 (Galaxy), but then I tipped my laptop and noticed the big dot in the middle went red. Given that it might be seen differently by one's better half, who is from Venus, could it be a Martin Mars?

Well, the "morning shift" did well! Nice job with the SAAB LM!
I bet your wife would look at this in a different way.............
I showed her but she just looked at me blankly. Like she usually does!

I like RR's idea of joining the dot's and I don't think you would have gone to all this trouble if the plane wasn't in there somewhere. I'll have a crack at joining the dots later but just for a laugh I rotated the picture and at bottom right is what looks, just a little mind, like the top half of the Lockheed Sirius? But maybe I'm looking "too hard"? Maybe more than one aircraft is "in there"?

Anyway, nice challenge David, Thanks for the effort mate, appreciated. Lets see what others find.

Hm... just looking at the dots, this silhouette seems to contain a deer or two? Let me take a guess then - is it the bringer of gifts and the scourge of the naughty children known as Father Christmas in his official ride?

OK guys,

There is only one aircraft here, and no deers! (unless there's something you can see which I did not draw....)

"but then I tipped my laptop and noticed the big dot in the middle went red"

Wot you on Mechta?

If you turn the picture upside down, it simply re-orientates the aeroplane,
which is what usually happens in my experience.

Scratch built pic, so do take your time!

Good morning everyone.

I see that RRs' green light is on.

evansb,

Not a comet, but I see your point. Mechta is winning in the sense of humour stakes so far, and Graemes' imagination is working overtime.

P-80?

Not really what you'd call a stellar guess.

FlightlessParrot,

Nice calls mate. Now we have a shooting star and a stealth.....

It will have to be cluetime soon - just waiting a bit to let others have some fun.

Morning all....just seen this. From what you said earlier LM I'm tempted to get my better half to look at this! In the meantime I'm going to look at the areas where there are no stars!
