Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

In fact I found a very good article on it in "Wings"

Ahh...I went off looking for info on the TP-1 wondering what you meant by "Spartan." Where does that come from? I couldn't find any reference to it.
Is "Wings" referring to the American magazine, the sister publication of "Airpower?" That's where the photo came from.

[Ridge Runner]

That's the one mate. I saw Spartan mentioned deep in the text but I was obviously wrong! RR

[Mechta]

Thanks Noyade, The other guys had done all the hard work though.

Here's the next one (if a line on the drawing looks like a datum line it probably is):

[Noyade]

G'day Mechta.This would have to be the Lockheed Constitution? I found a dimensioned line drawing of it but was surprised to find it 'windowless' despite the photographic evidence to the contrary.

If it is, Open House.

[Lightning Mate]

It's all very quiet....

[HarmoniousDragmaster]

just watching and waiting. It obviously *is* the Lockheed Constitution, but rules is rules

[Mechta]

Hi Noyade , LM & HD,

Yes, you are right. My source said XR6O-1, but its the same aeroplane.

Noyade, you have control

[Lightning Mate]

Noyade declared Open House:

[Noyade]

Blackburn Sidecar.

[Lightning Mate]

OK Annoyade, at least I got six minutes out of that instead of two!

All yours Mate.

[Noyade]

Actually, that was very impolite of me. I should have started with something like, "Hey David! How are ya mate? Read your PM, thanks. Sounds like you'd make an excellent Aussie, have you ever thought of immigrating?"

Then...hit you with the Blackburn Sidecar. (There's a joke like that about two brothers and their mother's cat. Heard it?)

OPEN HOUSE!

(Have you ever googled the definition for "Noyade?")

[Lightning Mate]

Got the PM thanks. I also sent one to you this morning.

Why so many open houses? Not like you.

LM

[Lightning Mate]

HD? Mechta?

[Noyade]

Why so many open houses? Not like you.

Now I'm hurt.

[Noyade]

Hmmm...five minutes and then I'm going to post another challenge...tick, tick, tick....

[Lightning Mate]

Is that a challenge in itself....tick, tick

[Lightning Mate]

Back to the Ashes:

[Noyade]

Well you said a while back that you had twenty images lined up.
Let's see number 19.

EDIT Oh, you did! Well done! When a push becomes a shove. But it looks too hard so I'm off to bed!

[Lightning Mate]

Happy roo counting.

[Ridge Runner]

I think we need Sablatnic or W-K on this one!
