    XP73. you could be forgiven for thinking someone had been playing with a P38 pic on photoshop. kind of what they were doing i guess, but in pre computer days they could play around with the real thing!

    NAL Saras. 205.

    We stopped playing because google started getting too good with searching images.

    Apparently Mudflaps' workaround works. I tried a workaround with a color image. All you have to do is slightly change the color balance of Red Blue or Green, just one click will do it, then save the now color-adjusted image. Of course though the process works you need a place to save and host your new image on the web.

    Hello Poolside, I really don't have a consistent method to fool google.

    The 1930's low wing monoplane I posted is an unedited picture off the 'net.
    If no luck with the plane, try to ID the Princess that piloted it. :D

    <BR>I see. It might be that Photobucket makes a slight change to the image file. That would be enough so that Google couldn't find a file match, or a file checksum match.

    (p.s.: Thanks for the clue.)

    I was wondering if anyone would get the Dornier designation. The B-17 ident is the easy part.

    No bites.... Let's try this one, then. I don't think it is in the register. :1drink

    Is that an L-200 in the background?
