Ah ha... Thanks David. It has to be an OH as I'm just leaving the office now ! :( RR

Seen a few "greens" but no guesses, so for the night shift, 1920's, European.

Closing down now. Usual rules...if someone guesses and that is supported by someone else please move on.

G'day Ken. The paddock, fencing and trees made me feel at home, so I'm now surprised to read your post more carefully, as it's European.

I really thought it was home grown. :(

Sorry mate, but as Trevor would say, got an early start tomorrow. Heading off to bed and back tomorrow afternoon.

Evening Graeme...yes decided to leave the background in to provide a more comfortable scene!

According to wiki this was the most widely produced aircraft from this manufacturer. We have had a closely related version of this aircraft as a previous challenge.

Looks like not much interest in this one, and I won't be around tomorrow to monitor, so challenge withdrawn.

Must be a F-117 mate...!!

But wait...I'm getting something....! Just got to let the eyes adjust:)

Compliments of the season to you David:ok:

Lightning Mate 19th Dec 2011 11:22

....and to you Ken. :)

It has been quiet around here!

It has, although there were quite a few "greens" on Saturday and when I finally looked in again last night. Perhaps SC has run its course? I've said to myself I'll give it until the end of the year, but if it hasn't picked up by then its time to call it a day.

Lightning Mate 19th Dec 2011 11:33


Perhaps SC has run its course?
I don't think so - at least I hope not. It's just that time of the year.

I'll keep going - 10,000 posts to get yet. :)

at least I hope not.
I hope you're right...it would be a shame.

Right back to the challenge...am I seeing a jet, intake at the nose, exhaust beneath the rear fuselage, quite a large tail, bubble canopy?

Yes to almost all mate, but the exhaust is under the mid-fuselage.

Lightning Mate 19th Dec 2011 11:47

Would you like the challenge made slightly more obvious?

Noyade 19th Dec 2011 11:48

Morning Gents. :)

I see a Sukhoi....

Sukhoi Su-15...1st version?

Edit to say, worked that out before I saw Graeme's drawing...honestly:)

Lightning Mate 19th Dec 2011 11:51

Evening Graeme. :)

You do indeed see a Sukhoi. Ken has nailed the exact one so I feel he should have it, unless he can't post, in which case it will be yours.

skytrain10 19th Dec 2011 11:54

Thanks David. If you've got one ready Graeme, go for it. If not I'll have one ready in 10-15 mins.

Noyade 19th Dec 2011 11:55

Midnight here. Heading to bed. :ok:

Lightning Mate 19th Dec 2011 11:56

Just in case anyone missed it before.......
