Open House
It's a bit like Social Security but I'll always accept a free handout.

Has anyone tried the Greyscale/Gamma approach to making silhouettes yet? I'm finding that it will only work if the background is white to begin with.

Here's another...

Totally stuck on this one so far - admittedly haven't had the opportunity to spend much time. My first thought was Morane Saulnier (swept parasol wing) but lots of similar designs save for the tail which looks like it came from a Hawker Fury!

Well I hadn't thought about a biplane but guess it could be - but not a Goral (not that I can find a side view) but the undercarriage and wing struts are wrong.

But one thing - the tail is however very Glosterish so you could be on to something. Think I am going to look through some books over a glass of wine to seek inspiration!

I can't see any Gloster aircraft that match - just looked at Armstrong Whitworth - some very similar, but nothing matches.

How about Gloster Gatsnapper II, then Gloster Gnatsnapper

I mean Gaosnappers were made with different tailfins, but they were one-seaters and the challenge looks like two seater.
