Good evening RR,

I think that it may be the Aeronautica Lombardi A.R 1 ?? (dunno if it may be spelt Lombarda)

If so, are you using the same excuse as LM did for the Dreadnought yesterday ?? (see Page 360 and watch out for some choice comments from Graeme)

Gotta go soon, so Open House please if correct.

No excuse mate. I'm going to do some previous challenges in a different way.

...and they called him RR, and he flew the slowest fighter in the West...

Certainly looks to be the same machine Martin...not one I have ever heard of, and not something I would have associated with Stelio Frati. Interesting concept....pilot does the take off, then bails out, leaving the aircraft/bomb to be radio controlled to its target.

I'll leave the Open House to the night shift! Any takers?

Hi Graeme,

Hope you are well, mate.

Well, having re-read Hesham's note I'm not sure - he is not clear. You are clearly correct and so why don't we progress as though it wasn't a set challenge?

Hesham: if this was a challenge you need to be clear that it is. If you are simply asking for advice about something then you should seek a different thread, not SC.

I'll take it upon myself to say that Noyade has CONTROL

RR

G'day Martin!

Yes I'm well, yourself? I just got home from work and had a look at SC and thought "damn I've seen that before!" I remember thinking at the time that it had a nose like the Ka-22. Your French clue triggered the memory.

I have a challenge, but I'm drawing it, so hang 10...

Drawn freehand, scanned and full "gamma" (whatever that is) applied, so I accept full responsibility for inaccuracies.

Who needs photoshop, eh, David. LOL.

a racer, mate? By the fact that it has a tail skid I guess it is also "available" as a land based machine?
