Step 1: Start from Gelnica, Slovak Republic.

Step 2: Initial heading 91°, 8440 nautical miles

Step 3: See which aircraft was built in Gelnica, dismantled and brought there to be produced…..

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 08:59

OK - step 2?

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 09:15

Plotted.

That puts me in the North Pacific ocean off the coast of Canada!

RegDep 11th Aug 2011 09:17

Come on. Mate……

I am lost

Allow 15 nm for Kosice to Gelnica.

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 09:21

Can't mate - I now have to leave you and teach until lunch. :\

Anything to do with Jabiru?

Weidersehen.

Anything to do with Jabiru?
I think Jabiru 3300 was considered as one of the engine alternatives.

Yes, it is :D

Over to you Mate :ok:

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 11:40

Blimey, that took some finding, even with the clues!

Silly me plotted on a transverse Mercator chart and not on a Lambert conical projection.

Your 091 initial track is a degree out. :E

Thanks RR for the accolade.

Please standby.....

Ridge Runner 11th Aug 2011 11:47

and please (pray etc...) ... somthing not plastic/biplane.. Got something WW2?

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 11:59


Got something WW2
Nope..........earlier.....

RegDep 11th Aug 2011 12:00


Your 091 initial track is a degree out.
It very well may be, because Gelnica has no airport, and it is taken from the nearest, which Kosice.

Would you buy 090?

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 12:02

Yes - I'll buy 090 degrees true. We never say heading, always track.

OK smartass........

RR has gone! I seem to have upset him.

RegDep 11th Aug 2011 12:21

Christopher Columbus: Santa Maria?

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 12:24

Wrong year.

All I know about this aeroplane is its' nationality.

RegDep 11th Aug 2011 13:04

Which way do you want me to attack, ask you which, do a blunder-bus guess, or try to find it? The third way may take a while :ooh:

Lightning Mate 11th Aug 2011 13:09

From Berlin, track 235 degrees true and stop somewhere obvious......

Better get it before skytrain arrives - he knows one of the oldies sites I use.

RegDep 11th Aug 2011 13:14

So France, then. Do you know more about it or is this all?
