OK. Thanks. That part of the bookshelf is empty, I'll keep looking but will be away most of the weekend.

Impressive opening ceremony! But can you explain that "House" scene to me? Was it from a popular TV show over there?

Got your e-mail Ken and will reply. Cheers.

Morning Graeme....

So you've got rid of your World Leisure Aviation Directories then?
I think the House scene was a mix between popular music, trends and TV - there again....! In truth not really sure myself!
Going back to watch it now...catch you a little later maybe.

Morning Karl,

Not many players about this weekend!

Not many twelve-ship formations on goggle either

A bit small to pick up on the detail.

Piston engines? US Navy? Trainers? WWII?

Thanks for that Karl, possibly found whilst checking out piccies of the ATL Accountant?

They be Fairey Gannets from three squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm

Yes, they are Fairey Gannets.

I forget where exactly I ran across 'em... on some recent goose hunt no doubt.

SincoTC has control

Might just catch you before bed

Precursor to the Moonbat and a would-be first from a great manufacturer, the McDonnell Model 1

Have to be Open House if correct as I'm gonna be tied up at work pretty much all day and "dog-sitting" (walkies) during breaks!!

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE

Good evening / morning / g'day.

The thread has been slow of late I note, and I'm back after a week of absence.

I officially retired an hour ago.

So here's something to be going on with.....

Welcome back; I hope you had a pleasant break! It sure has been slow mate, and it would seem that you were not the only one away!!!

Free of pesky students at last, that must be good for the blood-pressure I'm sure we all wish you a long and happy retirement

Thanks for posting, I was struggling to make time to fill my OH, but I've been hectic all day.

That'll never get off the ground with that skinny little prop up front Is it a generator, or a fuse on an early guided weapon? Rocket or jet powered? 1940's?

Unfortunately, I haven't much time to play this evening as We've got consultants in tomorrow and I've got reports to finish

Evening David

Firstly may I wish you a happy retirement. I am thoroughly envious.

Your latest did fly, in a manner...its the MiG I-270 I presume? Open House assuming correct.

Finally, check your email when you have a moment.

Morning David

I guess I'd better put something up or you won't have anything to do with all that free time. I'm in and out of meetings with consultant all day but will do my best to monitor!
