I thought I'd try another Douglas!

Your control Brian.

Yes, the Victa R2, designed by Luigi Pellarini, who also designed the Transavia Airtruk. Your control.

Thanks...

I do have a challenge but can't post until this evening UK time at the earliest.

So I'll say OPEN HOUSE but will pick it up myself if I can.

I'll go with the Cessna 407 Brian. I did a bit Googling and I was very surprised to learn it never flew?

Not exactly a fair challenge
C'mon mate, are you serious? The only "clever" thing I did there was take a famous photograph, pump up the contrast and darken it. Smoke still pouring from the outer port wing, where the fourth engine was shot off, with a hint of Japanese roundels still visible and it sat there for nearly two days with no questions asked. So then I posted the original.

Perfectly legit to me!

Oh dear...............


Personally I don't see what was wrong with Noyades' challenge.


But still, I don't play here so my opinion is worthless.
