Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

I already looked at post 9489 and concluded it eliminated Asia and Australia, but that is all.

Unfortunately I have to go in 20 minutes - still not internet at the new place!

Have a pleasant evening.

[Ridge Runner]

oh dear... brush up on your history then, David!!!

[Ridge Runner]

Thanks, you too!!!

RR

[Lightning Mate]

Somewhere here then.........

[Ridge Runner]

Nope!!!!

You asked if I counted Scandinavia or Russia as Europe. I said "no", but I had discounted Europe. Therefore .....



Come on number two .....

[Lightning Mate]

Right then, may I discount Russia?

[Ridge Runner]

NO! ... phew ... we got there!!!

[Lightning Mate]

Evening Ken.

I can only find one refernce to it on the internet!

Not much of a chance then is there!

All I have established is that it's Russian.

[skytrain10]

Busy afternoon/evening so not had much chance to look in to this one.

I think it's the Kubyshev I-2 Impulse?

Kubyshev I-2 Impulse

Evening Ken. I can't find that on the net, but toggling back and forth to page 474 and comparing Martin's profile to your photo - looks like a match.

It's a "confirmed" from me.

Morning Graeme. The picture I posted is from the net (despite it's appearance) although I confess to having first identified it as a likely candidate from the description in Osprey's excellent publicaition on Russian aircraft. There is a 3-view on the same website.

How's things with you? And how's the pc?

I'll prep a challenge shortly.

[Noyade]

How's things with you? And how's the pc?

All good - at the moment. Girl from Manila (Telstra Bigpond) tells me that if I don't regularly "Clear History" the browsing speed slows down? You believe that?

You all good?

Osprey's excellent publicaition

What page?

[skytrain10]

Girl from Manila (Telstra Bigpond) tells me that if I don't regularly "Clear History" the browsing speed slows down? You believe that?

Yep - have had first hand experience of that - not the girl from Manila that is - the bit about regularly clearing out the history Also worth removing any programmes you don't use as well as deleting old files which just clog up the pc.

All good hear - work is keeping me pretty busy. Just about to look for a new car to replace Sue's.

What page?

510 Figured it would have to be something that there was no picture of as Martin know's I have the book

[Noyade]

510

Crikey mate, you really are the dedicated "Silhouette Finder". I tend to ignore pages that have no line drawings/photos.

the bit about regularly clearing out the history

The thing is though, I restored the PC to factory settings and the problem was still there. I mean how much history can you accumulate in a few hours?

Computers - a love/hate relationship.

[Noyade]

clearing out the history

And whenever I do that and pop back to PPRuNe, I keep seeing this...

[Noyade]

I'll prep a challenge shortly.

Heading out Ken. Will see what you've got later today.

Cheers.

[skytrain10]

I'm certainly no expert on pc's but does restoring factory settings actually delete history? Incidentally I've seen that IB Inc symbol before...cant recall what I did to make it disappear.

Anyway on to stuff we probably know more about...next one:

[skytrain10]

Closing down for the night now. Usual rules apply

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning Ken.

......you really are the dedicated "Silhouette Finder"

I'll drink to that!! That must be the win of the year so far - how on earth did you find it?

[skytrain10]

how on earth did you find it?

Well, it had been established it was Russian, so I had a look at the previously mentioned book, found a brief description of the Impulse, and then looked for it on the web. Ironically I found it on a website I had previously saved but forgot to look at! In otherwords you didn't need a book to find it

So any thoughts on the current challenge? Need a clue?
