Patterson-Francis Twin-Tractor
Cheeky one David - didn't you post that one quite recently if I recal, in its earlier form? :)

skytrain10 27th Nov 2010 22:45

Evening Mechta - it reminds me of a Pegasus Quantum, although I'm pretty sure its not?

skytrain10 27th Nov 2010 22:50

Second thoughts, the Solar-Wings Pegasus Quasar IITC?

Closing down for the night now, so if correct Open House.

Mechta 27th Nov 2010 23:25

Skytrain10's got it. :ok: I thought a flexwing microlight would have kept you all going for a while; no such luck...:*

It's Open House, so any takers?

Since it's not April 1st., I assume you're being serious!!!!!

Not many retractable gear biplanes around and it ain't a Polikarpov since there are more than one interplane strut.

Grumman F3F?

I assume you're being serious!!!!!
Damn right I am mate! Aerial combat is a serious business, you of all people should appreciate that! :ok:Your control....!

I believe that it is an F3F, but the writer/illustrator was being a little imaginative here as it didn't participate in the Spanish Civil War. Very emotional read, do you want to know what happened to Harley?!

Love to......

Noyade 28th Nov 2010 08:48

He's British mate!

Sought vengeance, killed all the bad guys and saved the day!

The End.

Lightning Mate 28th Nov 2010 08:52

A real fighter pilot then. :ok:

This was sent to me by an aeronautical magazine:

Noyade 28th Nov 2010 08:53

Send it back.....

Noyade 28th Nov 2010 08:58

Two questions...


OFFICE.....!!!!!!
What does it mean when you yell "office"....?

And did you draw the tyres free-hand (you missed the rims)...?

At staff college a good result in anything resulted in the call "office", since people were flying desks instead of aeroplanes.

Deliberately missed the wheel spokes because:

a. they take too long and,

b. Photoshop will only go as low as one point brushstroke and the image resolutions on the web are not that good.

The tyres were drawn freehand but then so was the whole silhouette.

I still don't get it. What do ya yell if you're still piloting planes but sometimes use a desk ...?


a. they take too long and,
Ditto that.

Your challenge an RPV.....again.

Lightning Mate 28th Nov 2010 09:11

....office.....

An RPV it is.

Noyade 28th Nov 2010 09:17


....office.....
I think you should just say "correct!"....but I suspect I should just drop it now...

I have a book on RPVs...printed in 1978.

Too old?
