mmm US Navy Skyray I think

I'll post up another clue in the morning (Australia), about eight hours time.

Daniel

Just to go for something obscure, how about an FJ-2 Fury [:)]
Bet it isn't mind...................

Okay next clue

Much more obscure than that. I'll give it a few more hours then post up another clue.

Wow , you guys are good ! This is great entertainment, even from the sidelines. Keep up the good work ...
Some of you are so good its scary.

Here we go

Its one of the experimental vertical launch aircraft, FY-1 Pogo or something like that. Quite a few of those though.

ORIGINAL: Flankerk

Its one of the experimental vertical launch aircraft, FY-1 Pogo or something like that. Quite a few of those though.

Well done Steve.

The Convair XFY-1 Pogo VTOL development aircraft.



As a tail sitter it may be more familiar to folks in this attitude



Among its contemporaries were the Lockheed XFV-1



and this wonderful looking aircraft, the SNECMA C450 Coléoptère



Anyway Flanker has won this one, Darren will have to update the ladder when he returns from whence he has gone. I did have another one I was planning to post but haven't been able to find a suitable detailed pic so if anyone else feels like keeping things moving please go right ahead.

Guys, I said I'd get back to this and that I'd been tied up with other stuff. I'd like to see this kept civil and not turn into yet another senseless competition between rival "clans". Now if you'd like me to ask Dale to delete the thread that can be accomodated immediately.
 
Sometimes I will simply be unable to keep this up to date on a minute by minute basis. This week has been a combination of heavy workloads with real job, spending nearly 40 of 48 hours hunting down a bug(s) in the latest release candidate and attempting to keep a steady pace with updating the HUD3. I forgot we had to look over the latest manual for 3.8 and proof read that as well as provide support and attend dev team meetings. I get paid for the real job stuff but the rest like this thread is on a voluntary basis...
 
I'm tied up with other stuff, turn my back for a little while and something I intended as an educational process is no turning into a surrogate HHQ vs PDB clan war. CEASE & DESIST.
 
Ignore the current photos I'll post one within 20 mins and we can get back to continuing with what seemed to be a feature of the forum that was attracting some appreciated attention.
 
Cheers
 
Darren
