Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
You're totally scared of racial comment crap etc.
A real siff afrikaan guy walks into a bar with a beautiful parrot on his shoulder. "Wow," says the bartender. "That is really something. Where'd you get it?"
"Africa," says the parrot.

A blonde walks into a bank in Johannesburg and asks for the loans dept.
She says she´s going to Europe on business for three weeks and needs to borrow R10,000.
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the papers and everything checks out.
The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank manager and its staff all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a R500,000 Rolls as collateral against a R10,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank´s underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the R10,000 and the interest, which comes to R141.66. The bank manager says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow R10,000?"
The blond replies ... "Where else in Johannesburg can I park my car for two weeks for only R141.66 and expect it to be there when I return?"
Finally, a gifted blonde!!!!
Some blondes are not so dumb........
Wo bist du RD?

One liter beer from local micro-brewery. Thüringer Bratwurst, Sauerkraut und Bratkartoffeln. Anything else you wanted to know Mate?

I sure did. It was "ein helles Pils" of their own brewing. Not fully clear but very good. They run an establishment in the same block where I live, and are well frequented. Once in a while we get a round or two on the house. I kind of like that. Nice food, too. Very Berliner - general German. That's what I go there lo look for. If I want something else, there are a lot of alternatives within walking distance (which is not the Californian walking distance. That is from the door, under the canopy, to the car 
)

I like Hefe Weizen a lot. The more cloudy, the better.
Re the challenge, hints of my beloved SNCASO deltaviex and of the first Mirage (MD550), but looks smaller.
Is it a homebuilt?

Hispano Aviacion P.300
"The same German-Spanish team that also designed the HA-100, designed later a light-weight supersonic interceptor with delta shaped wings designated as HA-300. For aerodynamic testing, a manned glider version was built by Hispano as the HA.P-300. However, the first flight was aborted soon after lift off behind a CASA HE-111 towing plane because the plane showed to be highly unstable. No further attempts were made to fly it further.
HP why didn't you ask if it was a glider

....and another from q-zon...
Now it is bookmarked ;-)
Because it looked like a jet (and it in fact was a test bed for one).
Oh, and it looked unstable too 
Was thinking: sitting nose up, but gear too flimsy to be a naval something...

No.
Brian, you got something for us?
HP, in hindsight, yes, that's where I got the Grot. Had forgotten
. I blame my advanced age and fragile health 
.
Edit: I'll be darned! A link on that site leads to my post in PPRuNe about the Grot. Take cover, we have been detected
