Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

Rat-atat-tat

The usual quality I see......

You know, I really thought you'd like those small grainy images being an ex-RAF fighter pilot? You know those sort of "shoot or be shot at" decisions, friend or foe situations. In a blink of an eye do you fire or not?

Flying a Mustang in WWII, would you blast my challenge from the sky?

Hi Graeme! A Jap I reckon? How about old Grace?

[Ridge Runner]

although the tail looks like a Kate

Couldn't resist a quick look - how about the Nakajima B6N Tenzen - aka Jill?

It's Jill! Good shooting Ken. Sorry Martin.

Your control Ken.

I was going to post a 'closer' pic before too long...

Thanks Graeme - internet problems continue again today (they are fixing the telephone lines which came down in bad weather) so will have to be Open House again.

[Ridge Runner]

easy peasy.....

Afternoon Martin - Messerschmitt Me-264?

[Lightning Mate]

Missed all the fun.....

[Lightning Mate]

Very quiet - where has RR gone?

[skytrain10]

Guess he's tied up with work or at lunch.

At least I have internet working properly again

I wonder what the record for challenges is in one day?

[Ridge Runner]

yes mate, the Me264. Control is Skytrain's!

[Lightning Mate]

I remember one day last year when I think we must have had ten or twelve.

....and somebody tell Graeme that I would take on his challenge in a P51.

Mind you, I wouldn't think of approaching it from that angle - he'd see me for a start. A good killer is unseen!

Don't recall that particularly but I'm not surprised. Wonder if we could be it? Mind you it has to be a day when everyone is around.

Thanks Martin - here's my next offering:

Incidentally I was thinking about Graeme's idea for the Noyade 500 - a silhouette of an aircraft with a production run of 500 or more and a contest which has to last 500 mins or more. Quite like the concept actually although it could be a tough one to fulfill! Guess its a case of finding a view from an unusual angle - I may give it a go

[Lightning Mate]

So if it is identified in less than 500 minutes then who has control - the original poster again?

No, I've assumed its exactly how we play today, save that if it passes the 500 mins then the poster claims the Noyade 500 prize (whatever that may be) and has the right to post again.
If it goes before the time is up then whoever gets it wins and posts their challenge.

In fairness nothing changes save that the poster can claim the prize if their image survives 500 mins and they can demonstrate that more than 500 aircraft were produced.

Anyway I was just thinking about it as I have a quiet afternoon!

[Lightning Mate]

Understood.

Noyade 500 prize

What would that be I wonder.......

Mind you, looking at your current challenge, I don't think I'll get it in under 500 minutes.

Only an hour left of my quiet afternoon.

[skytrain10]

Mind you, looking at your current challenge, I don't think I'll get it in under 500 minutes.

Don't worry, this one does not fall into the 500+ production run!

What would that be I wonder.......

Probably the prize is you get to keep control! When Graeme wakes up he can suggest one.

[Lightning Mate]

Have to go now. Best of luck - I'll check in tonight.
