Thanks Reg,

Goodnight and sleep well :ok:

I'm going to turn in now as I've gotta be up at 4am; so it's an Open House, have you got anything to leave up for the late shift Graeme?

Edit: All lights out, off to bed and work I guess, so maybe the late shift will post!

Have a good day Graeme :ok:

This silence hurts my ears :uhoh:.

RegDep 18th Aug 2011 11:30

Can I encourage some on-lookers (friends call you lurkers) to give a stab by saying

1. The silhouette is probably or a planned or re-planned version, and the one that flew had one distinctive difference.

2. It (the aircraft) did not make it to do what it was built for.

Morning/Afternoon Reg.


and the one that flew had one distinctive difference.
Big nacelles?


did not make it to do what it was built for
Go to Paris?

Something to do with the S-35?...

Everything to do with the ill-fated Sikorsky S-35! Crashed at take-off for Paris :uhoh:.

Over to you :ok:

Noyade 18th Aug 2011 12:43

So where's your three-view from? Very different to the S-35?

Easy one...

The Airship was nicknamed the "Pulham Pig".

RegDep 18th Aug 2011 13:00

The three-view is from a French publication (general science, not aviation). Posted the three-view first and only then looked at other pictures. Thought: WTH, I can give the rest of the story in clues. The difference, as I can see, is only in the nacelles.

The three.view is probably something for the future "standard model", not meant for records.

Your challenge looks very familiar, but I cannot look more now.

Will be of some hours now. See you later.

Noyade 18th Aug 2011 13:03


See you later.
Ditto!

Don't forget, when you find it, continue on. No confirmation required.

Cheers!

skwinty 18th Aug 2011 13:41

skwinty 18th Aug 2011 14:00

You're up.

Thanks for the warm welcome Lightning Mate:cool:

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 16:26

Thank you skwinty.

I am trying to work out what we will all call you - probably SK or SW.

It saves time when someone knows a challenge and time is vital. I do hope you stay with us - be prepared to take banter......and throw it back..........!!

I am not normally around from about 1630 Prune time for an hour or so.

Please standby.......
