Ouch, good skills, 'tis yours Noyade

Noyade 8th January 2012 05:54


good skills
Thanks mate but no skills involved. Bumbled my way there. Would you believe I originally thought it was some sort of experimental Grumman Tracker with a jet engine. No luck but I did find this...

...so then I wondered what the rear of other Grumman machines would look like.

Anyway, onwards and upwards...

McDonnell Douglas A-12 Avenger II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Aftermath" section is interesting. Only winners are the lawyers?

SincoTC 8th January 2012 21:51

Sea Harrier??


Only winners are the lawyers?
So what's new there, ba:mad:ds

Noyade 8th January 2012 21:52

Sorry mate, not the Harrier.

SincoTC 8th January 2012 21:58

Was too busy putting up another SC, (which you'll have got by the time I post this)!!


(From SC) Well, you know the PPRuNe challenge definition for "easy." http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/sowee.gif
Yup, the fan blades are far to near the front, so no room for the bloke unless the engine was out, which is what I thought might be the case.

Kitbag 8th January 2012 22:15

Possibly Lockheed U-2?

Noyade 8th January 2012 22:22

Well done Kitbag, your control. :ok:
