Time for some clues, I guess.

French, 1960's, Hirth engine.

Evening...
so LM popped in today, uh?
If you're watching, LM, HP says "hi"!

Regarding the challenge, am I looking at two underslung jets or turboprops?
I suppose there only is one horizontal stab...

HappyPass, this one was designed to have two turboprops.

Could you please disambiguate the "horizontal stab". I am not at my sharpest…. .

I'll stop searching for this framed-canopy sleek turboprop and log some bed time... I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow.
See ya!

MEL is syntactically similar to Tcl and Perl. It provides some memory management and dynamic array-allocation, and offers direct access to functions specific to Maya. The majority of standard Maya commands are default MEL scripts, saved in the Maya Program Files directory.
MEL is fairly limited compared to mainstream scripting languages. It is not object oriented, and lacks advanced features such as associative arrays. Very few improvements have been made to it in recent years, and in Maya 8.5, Python was added to Maya as an alternative to MEL.

There you go.....................
Many thanks for the Birthday Greeting David. Much appreciated.Sorry for the late reply, have been out rehearsing for Thursday's opening night of our play "Sand Castles".
Mel

May I take this opportunity, on behalf of all the players on the AH&N "Quiz" threads (some of whom are away on business), to wish Mel a Very Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns and once again thank him for his invaluable efforts in maintaining the three lists, it would be unimaginable chaos without them!!!

Edited to say, "break a leg" Mel

Graeme, YES!

Varga RMI-1, the early Hungarian turboprop project (1940) which was designed for Jendrassik Cs-1 turboprop Jendrassik Cs-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, then fitted with two different sets of piston engines, but never flow, because it was destroyed in a bomb raid (1944) before it could fly itself.

Over to you

Belated Birthday Wishes Mel.

G'day Reg, thanks...

...but I did something silly today. I joined a gymnasium run by ex-army physical instructors and don't feel all that well now. I'm sure the wiry one will come in the night and snap my neck while I sleep if I say too much in the negative, so I'll leave it there...

Open House.

Edited to say, "break a leg" Mel
Thanks for all your good wishes. Although one might think differently I do not spend all my time on PPRuNe. Here is a shot from our latest play, Bob Larbey's "Sand Castles". I will admit it is one of the best parts I have played.

Sorry for going off thread. For further details PM me.
