Looks like an Electra with 5 bladed props! Any connection?

Edit, is it the proposed Lockheed P-7, which was to be the Orion replacement?

[Lightning Mate]

Not that I can see mate.

Check the fin profile.

Yes mate!

Back to you.

[skytrain10]

Thanks LM. Will have to be Open House.

[Lightning Mate]

Oh dear ...Oh dear....

[Lightning Mate]

Is my Wingman too slow?

[RegDep]

Whoops…. You know, I don't even have a scooter. Me Missus has the car(s) and she parks my Reeboks next to the door, where they collect dust all day.

[Lightning Mate]

and she parks my Reeboks next to the door

Reeboks.....Reeboks....?

Are they not designed for having sex in bus shelters.....?????

[RegDep]

Dont know. Never went there to take a look.

[Lightning Mate]

bus shelters.....

That's what girls in Essex use for protection during sex..........

Don't go to Essex - ever.....

Essex girls have a higher sperm count than Essex men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RegDep]

Yours is Walter Extra - EA500, the "Flying Drop" (in fact "Der fliegende Tropfen", which sounds a bit less untoward… )

[Lightning Mate]

Fantastic.

Your thread again.

Off now - nacht mate.

[RegDep]

Thanks Mate!

Here's the next



Good night Mate!

[HappyPass]

'Evening Reg!
A roadable, or it's just plain ugly?

[RegDep]

Ach, there you are!

In a way, both, HP.

[HappyPass]

Maybe it's related to that "Ascender" made by the makers of the Gee-Bees?
Ascender
I highly doubt that, though.
OH in the unlikely etc. etc.
Nite!

[RegDep]

HappyPass, mine is not the "Ascender" , but the picture is, in fact, surprisingly close. The two guys in your picture would probably be the father and uncle of the maker of the challenge aircraft.

[SincoTC]

Guten Tag Reg ,

Just off to work, the obvious question, is it on Aerofiles?

Catchya later if possible!

[RegDep]

Good morning TC. It is but no picture there.

My heart aches for Brian .

I knew all the time what the challenge was (what an interesting aeroplane!) but had promised not to play if I crack a challenge too easily and without subject matter knowledge…….
