I'm off to look at a car, so it will have to be Open House.

See you all later.

Bugger me!!! Away from the keyboard for five minutes, Challenge is solved and all the green lights are out :ooh: !

Thanks for the offers LM and Graeme, but the real answer is that I'll have to get some decent image editing software. £10K's worth of solid modelling CAD software, but NBG for bitmaps!!

Good luck with the car hunting David :)

Tech demonstrator.
Evalued as obsolete.
Cancelled. ;)

DASA company launched the project TDEFS (Technology Demonstrator for Enhancement and Future Systems). Once again it was faceted stealthy demonstrator, but a much universal then Lampyridae, optimized for the european battlefield. The second important change was the using of the two engines. The basic concept was tested on a serie of the small models in high speed wind tunnel called FTTU (Fliegender Technologie - Trager Unbemannet). But in this time the faceted technology was evaluated against curves as obsolete and the program was cancelled.

HappyPass 6th Aug 2011 14:28

Yep, that's the one!
Back to you Reg...:ok:

RegDep 6th Aug 2011 14:38

Afternoon Reg et al.

Back from looking at car - going to buy it.

There is no way in this world that you will believe what it is.

Lightning Mate 6th Aug 2011 15:58

Looks British.

Something like the Vickers Victoria or Valencia.

skytrain10 6th Aug 2011 16:13

Looks like there's a nosewheel...is it the Vickers Vimy Commercial?

RegDep 6th Aug 2011 16:43

Over to you :ok:.
