Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

OK then.

Think German female - and she actually was.

[Ridge Runner]

I can do that ... but will it help!?

[Lightning Mate]

It will.

Get her name and you will have part of the name of the challenge.

[Ridge Runner]

You normally get their name?

Back to the challenge..... A Lorraine-Dietrich?

[Lightning Mate]

Your first shot has missed.

[Ridge Runner]

another Q: was it a glider? I cant see any engines!

[Lightning Mate]

There is no engine in the illustration, but from what I can gather it was designed to eventually be fitted with one.

It is on the web, but information is scant.

[Ridge Runner]

OK. The cockpit has a Dornier look about it. Is that the right direction? I admit I have no idea but I'm searching for clues!!!

[Lightning Mate]

It does have a Dornier look about it doesn't it.

It isn't though.

Here's a big clue - her nickname was Mellie.

[Ridge Runner]

How about the Mellie-Beese FlugYacht?

[spook]

Beese-Boutard MB Wasserflugzeug?

[Lightning Mate]

Great stuff.

It is either known as the Beese-Boutard Wasserflugzeug (her husband was Boutard) or the Mellie Beese Flugyacht.

So you are both correct but sorry spook, you were just beaten to it mate. Your turn will come.

The floor is all yours RR.

[spook]

No problem! I think RR was right about the Dornier resemblance though - they are rumoured to have taken the design after Beese was banned from flying or designing aircraft.

[Lightning Mate]

Yes you are both correct. My negative response was because the challenge isn't a Dornier.

I woul stick around spook - you might get an open house today, but not, I suspect, from RR.

[Ridge Runner]

ha, ha...... another wet one!!!!

[Lightning Mate]

Wot, the aeroplane or you?

[Ridge Runner]

ah, back to that German female, eh?

[Lightning Mate]

A Dornier ?

[Ridge Runner]

Not a Dornier, David
