No idea what it is, but I like it. :)

Yes - yes (with intake bullet) - and yes. :ok:

Noyade 10th Jun 2012 10:23

Bum looks big? Ramjet involved?

Lightning Mate 10th Jun 2012 10:27

No.

No engine stated but looking at its' year, I'm sure it would have been an afterburning turbojet.

edit: just found more info' and that's exactly what it was.

Noyade 10th Jun 2012 10:33

Found it, but I think the artist has it wrong? It should show a compound swept wing - of 60, 50 and 30 degrees?

The Supermarine Type 545?

You have found exactly the right picture, but it's incorrectly labelled.

The 545 was indeed compound sweep - wanna go up a few numbers ?

Wotcha doin'? Check the file properties of your image - it gives the correct designation. :ok:

Okay...how about....?

Three. But we're now pushing for four.

Lightning Mate 10th Jun 2012 11:04

We only got it by moving the May holiday to this month for the Jubilee.

Yours a Frog?

Hawker P1103 ?

Noyade 10th Jun 2012 11:19


Hawker P1103
:ok:

Your control, again.

Lightning Mate 10th Jun 2012 11:23

You said you didn't want a glider, so standby.....

Bipe or UAV ?

Noyade 10th Jun 2012 11:29

Biplane please!

Lightning Mate 10th Jun 2012 11:43

Sorry mate, I was taking a call from my brother, who is with Mother.

Mate, if you want to talk more on the phone, please do so. Don't let me get in the way. This challenge business is not important and just a bit of fun. Wanna call it quits for today? I can look at your biplane later?
