Happy Christmas Day to all Silhouette Challengers and "Lurkers" from The Stig


Skytrain's current Challenge; initial thoughts of seaplane were tempered by the two-blade, wide chord prop and the large aileron deflection, prompting thoughts of something small and twitchy and could that be an aerial on the fin? So a sub-scale model of a project or maybe a UAV.

Searched on that hunch and came up with Warrior (Aero-Marine) Gull 36 UAV

Sorry guys, but I have to love you and leave you; it's an early start of visiting friends and relations and I won't be back 'til late tonight, therefore, please declare Open House if skytrain confirms. Y'all have a great day!!

And a MERRY CHRISTMAS to one and all.

Well done Sinco, it is indeed the Warrior Gull from Aero Marine
Warrior (Aero-Marine) - Gull - Introduction

Not sure if anyone else is around, but its Open House.

Enjoy the day......

Cars all locked away, so I'll get this up before partaking of what will undoubtedly be too much lunatic broth:

Good afternoon LM,

Very cold conditions and a clear sky prompted early RTB while temperatures still a modest -6 C and my road and drive are just managable.

As expected, not many players around today!

I think your latest is the Rheinmetall-Borsig 'Rheintochter'

Norwich = Nickers Off & Ready When I Come Home.

That's the way it was in the Lightning Force.....Happy Xmas to you too mate.

A Lightning mate of mine at Coltishall had a Labrador. The great call in the bar was:

"show us what the girls in Norwich do".

Said dog would lie down on its' back and legs in the air.

You have no idea just how accurate that pose was......

I hope you had a good Christmas Graeme

I bet Mr Ponting's boys would have liked Boxing Day Off though.....All out 98!!!!!

Don't despair mate! No team batting last has ever won at the MCG and we've got to survive 40+ overs tonight
