Your control.

Should have got it earlier.

Secret - mate in my office was an experienced army helicopter pilot.

One version was designed with four engines and one with the six shown.

Civilian passenger job.

What do you think it led to? ;)

skytrain10 11th May 2012 13:27

Well, guessing it was a Concorde design....BAC.223 possibly?

Image colour restored as shadow merged in to the silhouette!

Lightning Mate 11th May 2012 14:27

Looks like a cross between a WIG and a hovercraft.

skytrain10 11th May 2012 14:35

Interesting design isn't it! A tilt rotor seaplane!

Lightning Mate 11th May 2012 14:43

Looks Heath Robinson enough to be Chinese.

Lightning Mate 11th May 2012 14:46

It's the jobber made by Liu Chun Sheng.

Blimey - don't let me near the thing.

Ken, have you noticed that there is no longer a ten minute time delay after editing before the edit time is posted?

The edit time is now instant.

Lightning Mate 11th May 2012 15:04

Heading 267 for eight miles - back shortly.

skytrain10 11th May 2012 15:09

Platt-Le Page PL.16?
Yes, you're right about the edit:)

Lightning Mate 11th May 2012 15:34

Nicely done Ken - the PL16 it is. :ok:

Your control again. :)
