Many thanks. When you referred to " a mine of information" and " keep digging" I thought that you might be refering to Chile!
I have still not been able to master the art of producing a silhouette,so;
"Open House".

Thanks Bri! Glad I paid attention to WC!

I have still not been able to master the art of producing a silhouette
I shall always remain indebted to one11 (Doug) for a rather clever and simple method of making a silhouette. Simply print off a picture, preferably rare and obscure, like a Mexican Mariscraft MA260 Minero, and then with a big felt-tip pen colour it in, preferably black, scan it and then upload to PPRuNe.

I tried it with line drawings but kept going over the line, so I generally just make them "negative". The great thing with the technique above is there is generally a lot more 'forgiveness' if the pen should stray.

Using Doug's technique...

This has led to a long-lasting discussion in Finland about the possibility that the war is still on….
Can't we just tell them its Finnished?

Originally launched as Grinvalds Orion but later transferred to Avyron as JG-803.

You have control, TB.
