Well timed mate, I'm just off home now and have just prepared and uploaded a couple to PB, so I'll put one up and bugger off, Im sure I'll be able to coax some life into the connection as I don't think the wind is as bad as it was over the w/e! If it's really bad I'll nip back and PM you the info, but it should be OK. FLW!!!

...and just wot was that hunch then...?
That's for me to know and you to find out

New challenge:



Will be back online in about forty minutes!!

Judging by the quality of the image it's quite modern......

....and there is something very unusual about the lower mainplanes innit!

'Tiz an original and quite old, photo possibly on big glass plate negative to give some idea of the age!

I'll have to look at the original and see what the lower mainplane looks like and report back!

Seen my edit above re BGJ?

OK, the lower mainplane is set beneath the level of the fuselage rather like a Brisfit, but unlike that, it stops short and doesn't pass under the fuselage!

TC - I gorra perspective problem/brain failure.

The left tailplane is pointed - the right one is not.

May I therefore assume that the right one is not the tailplane but a ventral fin extension rendering the right tailplane invisible.

If not - you vill be shot und ze var is over!

Gents.

G'day Trevor.
Purpose? Military? Fighter, trainer, reconnaissance.....

Mate, why does the wind effect your connection so much?

I do see what you mean, but that's pretty much how the original looks, I don't think it's a ventral extension as I've zoomed in on it and the tailskid is in front of it.

PM airborne re BGJ

Evening Graeme,

Purpose = Trainer, if being bold maybe pursuit, plus a mail carrier version.

Take no notice of that other crude bugger!!

The problem is that I'm up a rural no-through road that becomes a Bridle-Path onto the Exmoor National Park a couple of hundred yards past my place and all the lines are up on poles running through trees, somewhere nearby there's a bad joints and when the trees/lines thrash around, the phone pops and crackles, it's a wonder that it can pass data at all.

lines are up on poles
Gottcha! I'm a suburbanite with underground telecommunications. Water plays havoc with our connection.

Mate I thought I was on to something there but as you an see I was 'upside down'...



So no idea, yet. Gotta go.

Cheers!
