Hi Guys,
Welcome to my brand new competition called 'Spot The Seats'. The aim of the game is very similar to that of 'Guess That Terminal' where I will provide a picture of the inside passenger cabin of an airline and you must guess which airline the seats belong to.
I will provide a picture and a written clue to help you along the way. First person that reaches 5 points will be gain the title 'Spot The Seats Champion'. Who will prevail? Will Matt add another title belt to his already impressive CV or will Javier beat him to the punch? Can any of the rest of the Euroharmony crew put up a substantial fight?....
Let the games begin....

Brian, you edited your post while I was searching! :) I remember seeing something related to helicopters :)

And the champion of the 'Spot The Seats' competition is....... (drum roll).....
VAZ!!!!
Well done mate! You pipped Javier to the post and win the race 5-4! So close...
Would you boys like me to continue?
;D
-
Absolutely!! But with more competition :)
Keep the seats (or whatever part) coming :)

Sorry Brian, I haven't had time to "spot the seat". And Javier, where are you?:)
With the coming celebrations, family, shopping, etc, it's dificult....
Could we go for a two weeks break from the competition? I really look forward for it, because it's amusing and educational, but right now time is short.
Anyway I'm searching for this one... just a moment....
-
I've got absoloutely no idea on this one, thats why i haven't posted, i'm still looking :]
-
Hi Vaz/Javier,
We can of course have a two week break over the christmas and new year period that is no problem at all my friends. Please see if you can figure out this particular one and then after that I will announce the current rankings and take the break as suggested. To make this one slightly more achievable I will give you one more clue....
Clue 2: It's a visual clue !! First one in wins !! :P
(http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3078/clue2kn1.th.jpg) (http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=clue2kn1.jpg)
Good luck,
Brian ;D
-
Now, that was a clue! Sorry Javier :)

(Airliners net is a mine of gold :) . Almost an encyclopedia )
-
Well, i didn't recognise the tail though i've heard of the airline :]
-
Well done Vaz! You have now taken a 2 point lead into the christmas period my friend!!
Rankings Table: Vaz = 6 points Javier = 4 points
This competition shall return in early January.....
;D
-
I still think it would be much better to have a long list of Euroharmony people on that ranking....
Well.... anyway....
Merry Christmas to all (for those who don't celebrate, I'm sorry but I'm to old to be politicaly correct)
and a Happy New Year
