Yup!

Some good stuff windhund, but just to clarify, the object of this "game" is to post a pic, and whoever gets the correct answer first, then posts a pic, and so on.
If a correct answer is not forthcoming, then the original poster can post another pic.

Okay! Sorry, didn't know the rules.

I've enjoyed your pictures.

Don't beat yourself up about the rules - 95% of the posts don't follow the "Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc." rule.

They were towing the aircraft by the prop gearbox? dang, that sounds like a good way to break something

But, that's what it's for. Either towed by another aircraft or towed by the propellor.

Echo, echo, echo ...

So the game is now to find a personal photo of a Rata with a tail wheel?

Wurger · Nov 24, 2021

I don't think there is any trouble with finding of a such shot ...

the source: the net....

windhund116 · Nov 24, 2021

But, scraping photos off the Net is fair game? Color me cornfused.

"Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc." rule.

If one took the time to go through the thread, they would find that GeeDee relaxed the rules to allow photos from other sources.

I shall consider myself suitably chastised.
Carry on.

The original idea, was to use personal photos from our collections, which was a great idea - however, after a few hundred pages or so, we exhausted our supply!

So Gary decided to change things a bit

No - "RoyBoy" above is answering a challenge posted over 11 years ago. If you go through this massive thread as Dave said, you'll see numerous posts over the years from people who answer "Polikarpov I-16 Rata" not realising (why, I don't know) the thread has well and truly moved on.

But moving on it should - it's a great thread!

Ah, I recognize that !
It's a ............... oh, b*gger, I've forgotten !
Oh, hello nurse ...............

Hmmm...

One of those pointy thingies on Luke Skywalker's land-speeder?

Seriously, though, it seems like I'be seen that on a RAF Lightning (jet).

Dave, it does have a jet engine - but from the land of wombats and wallabies.
