'snot a Koolhoven is it ?

And G'day Ken. :)

No. He was a Brit who moved to the USA.

The fighter pilot/designer was Geoffrey Siers.

Aircraft is named after a fast swimming fish with sharp teeth.

Lots of clues, as I have to leave soon.

Barracuda ?

Jeffair Barracuda. :ok: Your control mate.

Catch ya later.

Good call David....just couldn't think of the name.

Thanks mate.

Just for you at the moment.....

Are you still out there ?.................

Busy with work, but a quick break for lunch...is it the Lockheed-Martin RQ-170 Sentinel?

Sorry mate - it isn't.

However, you are on the right track. ;).......................

I admit I didn't really look too closely, but now I have I can see there are some significant differences.

I can give you a cryptic photographic clue if you wish........

Found a photo, but it is incorrectly captioned as a Sentinel!

This looks remarkably like your machine:)

What's that called and how many engines does it have ?

edit: how many of those were built ?

Is this some subtle clue? Back to work now, but will look in later.

Just found your pic.

I don't think they are the same machine - there was only ever one of the challenge.

Had to check again....just found mine with the correct ID...it's a Lockheed-Martin P-175 Polecat. Just the one built.

If by any chance correct will have to be Open House

No by chance - it is indeed the Polecat. :D

Looks like that could possibly be the end of play for a while.

However................

Skytrain has declared Open House. :\

edit: I'm resisting it Ken cawz I would rather wait until you're back. :)
