Here we go: Open House prevails.

Edit: Here you can find the original SC http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post6614906

Well done Reg with the new thread. :ok::ok:

Didn't we always stick to the image size rules?

Here's to the next million. ;)

We understand you Pop.:ok:

I believe we did.

Cheers Mate! Here's to the new thread http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...p/f_bubbly.gif

Pour another one........:ok:

Why don't you take the Open House Mate? Let's kick the big wheel spinning :).

This is not a challenge.

Identify the helicopter.

..the helicopter...the helicopter...the helicopter....

Ok, clearly an Ekranoplan...the AquaGlide?

Edit, and congrats for setting up SC2 Reg:ok:

Thanks Mate and skytrain :)

Hitting the sack now. Take care!

I'll drink one too...
See ya tomorrow.
SC is archived, long live SC! :ok:

Of course.

Ken has the thread. :ok:

Coo :ooh: page one, what a lot of space :cool:!!!

I'm sure we all understand and appreciate the Mod's decision and thank them for allowing Silhouette Challenge to grow to the size it did, but equally, I think that it was a very popular attraction for the Forum judging by the number of views it achieved!

That said, it would be nice if the old thread could be "Stickyfied" for a while, so that lurkerrs can still browse it, also, so that it can be referred to when checking against Mel's list to verify information. This is not so easy with the old "What Cockpit" threads (I-III) now they're deep in the Archives, seems like only recently that they disappeared from the tabbed listings!

Here's to the next million!!!

Well done for kicking it off Reg :ok:; now give us one of your famous predictions for the arrival of Page 100 :E!!

Good Night, Afternoon and Morning to all Silhouetters and Lurkers worldwide. Long live Silhouette Challenge II :D:D

Good morning Mate,

As my question/comment to you became the Famous Last Words of the one and only original Silhouette Challenge, can you enlighten us here where the picture was taken.

And good morning skytrain!

Morning all. Sorry being on UTC +2 I had hit the hay last night so duidn't see LM's response.

Anyway here is my next offering...will be monitoring on and off today so I won't promise any instant replies.

And morning to you Reg:ok:

Morning Reg. :)

It's an Omani Air Force Jaguar photographed at Muscat, Oman.

All were flown by RAF or ex-RAF pilots. There were no low flying rules, so hooliganism was always the order of the day.

Google U-tube videos for Omani low flying Jaguars. :ok:

Morning David...I said it was Oman!

Based on past performance over latest 500 posts, the ETA is 3 September 2011 :8

Your control.

Thanks skytrain!

Yes, I posted it and it nearly went on for three days!!!!

I big hello to SC Mk.2 from hot, sticky and sunny Delhi

RR

Agree completely - mods (Robin et al) take note!

RR

Hi RR,

I did a permalink of the last page of the original SC and saved it as a bookmark, and edited my opening post to add the permalink there.

I also followed up the WC and could follow it to MK III, but not I and II. I wonder if permalinks stay "forever" after archiving. Maybe mods know… Should I ask in Computers, Internet and Troubleshooting thread?

Update of Silhouette Challenge List 31 July 2011
 

The list of Silhouette Challenges made has been updated, up to and including 31 July 2011.

Thanks...Mel....:ok:

Ahhh, so this is where you guys are?!

Hi Reg...Is that a WWII aircraft mate?

Well, yes and no. Never made it, but not because of timing…..

....because it was never built?

Well, the nose reminds me of a Fiat CR-32...Is it Italian?

It was built and it was Italian.

Sorry, I take something back: It made it to the war.

Sorry 2: I am a bit confused now. Let's say this: The picture is of the prototype that flew in 1940.

The Nardi F.N.315...?

Second look. No.

Not Nardi F.N.315, but another trainer.

I now think that there was one prototype only, which later was converted to something more aggressive.

[QUOTE]bergamo-caproni ca.355....?[/QUOTE]

Shhhh! Not that….

Okay...........

Yes, yes, very rare. And veeerrry genuine. Belonged once to a Maharaja, Sir. Very expensive, Sir. But you are my friend, so I give you 60% discount.

That IS exactly how I thought it would look!

Never seen that before mate. Looks a little like a Pilatus P-2.

The hunt continues...

Not a Pilatus. Italian.
