I didn't get any of those warnings when I looked at it, but I've removed my links to the site and the pic too.

What was it ? Maybe somebody can save it and share it ?

Guys, I'm sorry for the disturbance I've caused but I'm an old man and I don't have any super-non-plus-ultra security programs installed on my computer to detect "hostile" sites. I use Windows 7 and my browser is Internet Explorer and the internet security is ... I don't know... at medium probably. I haven't had any troubles as the above described.
This time the photo was saved on a flash drive and uploaded to my photobucket. I hope it can be seen without any security risks for anybody.
Regards!
BTW I found the original photo which was used for the above compilation:

I don't recognise that.  What is it?

The upper picture is the whif based on the picture below of a Miles Monitor TT MkII. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Monitor

Thanks Dave.  I've never heard of the Monitor.

No harm done and no problems viewing the pic now.
Like zenrat, i'd never heard of the Monitor, but that's no surprise as it's not a fighter...

[PR19_Kit]

IIRC the Monitor was a target tug of all things. It had a particularly bad accident record as well.

Nope.
The original a/c used for the fotoshop is B.26 Blackburn Botha.

Ow crap.......but they do look similar.....very similar..........

[PR19_Kit]

The Monitor does look a lot sleeker than the Botha for sure.

Neither of them had a particularly stellar career it seems.

[zenrat]

Surely not!  It's nowhere near ugly enough to be a Blackburn design...

[NARSES2]

Neither of them had a particularly stellar career it seems.

I think it was one of them that elicited the following comment from the test pilot when he was asked the question "what needs doing ?" The reply "seal all the doors and windows so that there is no danger of anyone else being asked to fly it !"

Almost certainly apocryphal , but sounds good.

[Captain Canada]

Very cool, thanks for sharing ! I had never seen that Botha pic before, nor had I heard of the Monitor, so it's a triple win for me !

[63cpe]

Both types do alliterate well: Blackburn Botha and Miles Monitor....
