Silhouette challenge
Awrr RR.
When I were a lad in't RAF, no woman was a challenge. Just went for the easy ones mate.........
Maybe we should re-title this thread - "The Dirty Old Mens' Shape Challenge"
Now, back to the challenge - the aeroplane. Has to be a pusher no?
Well, they might be a challenge.... many women are! It's fun trying though!

Good evening Ken,
I think it's Rudy Heeman's Flying Hovercraft (New Zealand). I thought that it was supposed to be a WIG machine, but it looks to be getting a bit high for that!
I have just found some interesting videos on the web and it does seem to be it.
If confirmed, please declare Open House as I won't be about 'til Thursday, thanks TC

Good detective work SincoTC, it is indeed Heeman's Flying Hovercraft from New Zealand.
Technically a hovercraft, it also combines that concept with wings, thus creating a WIG! Powered by a single Subaru engine.
Open House has been declared.

No luck for me Richard.
I had a look here...
100 Jahre Nurfluegel/A century of flying wings
...and here...
Graphische Darstellung aller bekannten Nurflügelflugzeuge/ Artist imressions of all known Flying Wings and tailless aircraft collection
...then again, I find some of the images too small to see properly.
