I can see the images now. I found the Filper Beta 200, but I was beaten to the post.

Hi All,
As you see above, Joe was right first shot with the helo, but decided to forgo his award. Well done Joe. :thumbsup:

Initially, I had planned to run this for 3 months, count up the wins, and present a "Quartermaster's" award.
What I'm thinking now, is that the baton be passed to the first most correct, respondent to a picture. They, in turn, post a challenge, and hand on to the next winner. This would make it more dynamic, and give more Members a chance to participate. Members could even choose what mode of recognition they wish to award.
It's not that I'm running out of pictures; I have thousands.
Perhaps those responding to today's challenge could include a note on this suggestion.
Anyone who can't identify, but wants to put in a vote about the suggested change - go for it. :agree:
I'll come back and edit this with a picture soon.

Like.. no way, blood....This is your legacy. n'shite.



Here are a few suggestions
Pace yourself. .. like 1 every 3 days
Or set days of the week .. or one a week. Or bi-weekly

.. and if you miss a day due to extenuating circumstances.
So what.. ..

All in favor say aye.

PS.
All those who don't say I aye will have their electricity shut off .. you all should know I have contacts in the Global Brotherhood of Electricians.
:OB:

No problem, I'll just shut the power station down - or the wires depending on the part of the country :OB: :lol:

Perhaps it is time I retired.....

I've tried growing a Hemingway/Shipman beard to encourage financial inducements to no avail so far.

Veering vaguely back on topic, did you know that the Sherpa was not named after the hardy local folk who get out of condition westerners to the top of Everest but is short for "Short & Harland Experimental Research Prototype Aircraft".

Cheers,
Allan

Congratulations, Ben!
Your badge, Sir:

If you'd like to pop a ticket in the mail, I'm happy to come over and stitch it on to your favourite blazer. :agree:
Your photo shows better detail than mine. :)
