All quiet although I think thats more due to lack of players rather than not knowing the challenge!

Clues so far:
- its not Russian
- its not from Europe

And I have implied which part of the world the aircraft is from if you know your wildlife!

It must now be pretty simple to work out where its from....surely?

Popping out to get the newspaper.

Morning David...I'm going out for a couple of hours myself, so catch you later. Hopefully you have enough clues to work out what part of the world its from....then its the hard part of working out what it is!

Good afternoon guys,

I swapped days this weekend and had yesterday off, i'm glad I did too, coz I wouldn't have got anywhere without the recent clues!!

I think it's Steve Boshoff’s SB2 Sport Tourer ?

Open House if correct please as I'm off in a couple of hours.

Well done Sinco, you are correct . Must admit I thought it would have gone yesterday after the clues....mind you perhaps LM was not focusing on them too well!!!



And where has strega gone....?

SincoTC has declared Open House.

I couldn't focus on every much!

I have been working on a new style silhouette - a transparent one.

See what you think.



Time to brush up on your computer work skytrain

In case you are having a perspective moment, the aeroplane is being viewed from above.

Hi LM,

Been working, but left my light on, having a break now then off about 4:15 'til tomorrow.

Not surprised you didn't find the previous challenge, you were looking for a Meerkat and it turned out to be a ZuCat

Trying to sort out your latest silhouette; is there a second engine hidden by the cabin?

Good evening to you TC.

It's a twin, with wing-mounted engines.

Do you approve of a new style silhouette?

you were looking for a Meerkat and it turned out to be a ZuCat
Now that is wit you old west country bugger!

BTW, I'm half Cornish and half Devonshire......
