Previous Challenges: Breguet's Crash Files
Quote:
Rules:
1. All aircraft are of the 1914-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in it's identification.
5. And whoever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet. In cases where the arbitrator's game answer is in question the decision rests with the current leader of the table.

Hi Adrian,
I've seen it before, or something similar, but I can't find any references which tell me what it might be. I suspect a lot of other members are having the same difficulty! .....  .... well obviously, otherwise someone would have identified it by now!

John did ask me to not make it too easy, but I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Where are all my super aces?

And isn't it supposed to be an " Identification ".......rather than simply a " process of elimination ! "
The machine is not very much smashed up , either !
