Norwich's challenge

Keith's Post # 166 is a Blohm und Voss Bv222A Wiking and as I say above
Opssys Post #167 is the FMA I.A.33 Pulqui II. Opssy, let us stick with one challenge at a time please.

Thanks Keith. As chiglet identified the Manufacturer before I did I will pass the honour to him, however if he hasn't a challenge then I will give way to diesel addict as he correctly identified Opssys challenge. Could I just reiterate do not post challenges unless it is open house or one has won the challenge.

Following my last challenge, should you be interested, I found a fantastic video clip of the B und V 238, an advance on the 222A, which should be at ...

YouTube - Blohm Voss BV 238 II

diesel addict. Correct and in five minutes according to the thread headers!
Honourable Mention to MReyn24050 for finding such a good picture.
I will now retire from the fray and just watch the geniuses at work!

"Could I just reiterate do not post challenges unless it is open house or one has won the challenge."

With respect, I started this post. I would like to post a further comment on your above quote, but I shall decline.

My idea for this post was a 'free for all' 'all join in' whether one has not identified an a/c or one has.

I'm sorry, I never knew there were rules posters had to abide to.

I appreciate that you started this thread. However, if you do not instigate the simple rule of only posting a fresh challenge after the current challenge has been identified and confirmed by the poster chaos will reign. As you say you started the thread so if that is the way you wish to play so be it. Forgive me for interferring, my comment was certainly not made to take over control of the thread merely to assist you in its smooth running.Hence my posting of a list of silhouettes posted so far.
I will withdraw my comment and leave you to run the thread as you intended it to be run.

Um, I feel a bit of a vacuum here ? would be nice to see a new challenge, but maybe that will only happen after we have an agreement to how it should be conducted !
This is only my view, the answer surely lies with, not just Daz and Mel, but with everybody who has enjoyed, questioned, answered, and enjoyed this thread ! So could we not have some input from all ? I want to enjoy this and hopefully not get involved with arguments etc. Keith.
Edit.
Sorry evansb, all this written before your post, but posted after ! Keith.

Thank you Mel. I have one "teed up" and ready, but would like to offer the oportunity to others, should someone want to post. I will watch the grand prix on tv, if, after that, there are no offers I will post. Keith.
