Looks like an Electra with 5 bladed props! Any connection?

Edit, is it the proposed Lockheed P-7, which was to be the Orion replacement?

Lightning Mate 7th Aug 2011 16:35

Not that I can see mate.

Check the fin profile.

Yes mate!

Back to you. :D

Whoops…. You know, I don't even have a scooter. Me Missus has the car(s) and she parks my Reeboks next to the door, where they collect dust all day.

and she parks my Reeboks next to the door
Reeboks.....Reeboks....?

Are they not designed for having sex in bus shelters.....?????:E

RegDep 7th Aug 2011 17:11

Dont know. Never went there to take a look.

Lightning Mate 7th Aug 2011 17:12


bus shelters.....
That's what girls in Essex use for protection during sex..........:E:E:E

Don't go to Essex - ever.....

Essex girls have a higher sperm count than Essex men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours is Walter Extra - EA500, the "Flying Drop" (in fact "Der fliegende Tropfen", which sounds a bit less untoward… :E)

Lightning Mate 7th Aug 2011 17:25

Fantastic. :D

Your thread again.

Off now - nacht mate.

RegDep 7th Aug 2011 17:50

Here's the next

Good night Mate!

'Evening Reg!
A roadable, or it's just plain ugly? :p

RegDep 7th Aug 2011 20:34

Ach, there you are!

In a way, both, HP.

HappyPass 7th Aug 2011 22:26

Maybe it's related to that "Ascender" made by the makers of the Gee-Bees?
Ascender
I highly doubt that, though.
OH in the unlikely etc. etc.
Nite! :)

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 05:50

HappyPass, mine is not the "Ascender" :), but the picture is, in fact, surprisingly close. The two guys in your picture would probably be the father and uncle of the maker of the challenge aircraft.

SincoTC 8th Aug 2011 05:57

Guten Tag Reg :),

Just off to work, the obvious question, is it on Aerofiles?

Catchya later if possible!

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 05:59

Good morning TC. It is but no picture there.

My heart aches for Brian :sad:.

I knew all the time what the challenge was (what an interesting aeroplane!) but had promised not to play if I crack a challenge too easily and without subject matter knowledge…….
