Thanks for that; I've just got in and was about to query that!

I was also going to ask; are we looking at a parasol-wing, or a biplane cunningly hiding its upper wing behind the lower wing and is it a single or two seater?

I know I've seen that U/C before, but where

Not the Renard , parasol wing, not a single-seater.

1st clue - This was a one-off development of a type that had a short production run. The production model had several features not present on this variant. Back in about an hour , cheers Doug

Morning gents!

I'll follow Bri's lead and try for another German Doug, the Dornier Do 22L.

Cheers

Two in a row to Graeme as far as my challenges are concerned

Dornier Do 22 - recon, torpedo-bomber

The Do.22L one off landplane version of the Do.22 seaplane, whose silhouette would have included a fin extension as well as the floats.

Control to Noyade

Graeme, did you explode of pride like the proverbial frog?

Edit to say: Good night all!

Sorry, had to get some timber.

Thanks Doug.

Should be easy?...



I submitted my return last month and received a reference number 32 letters long.to prove it
I've had that problem mate - until I did it online.
Are accountants expensive over there? Ours charged about $110 for me and my wife last year.

David, thanks for the e-mail camera tips! We went out and bought a "High Speed Card Reader".

So I thought I'd share this with you. Julie took this photo at the Melbourne Zoo. I'm sure you recognise the critter....

Your critter must be missing his home town.

Clues

One of these machines was flown by the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War.

Swissair had a few.

And Japan got one where they reportedly dissected it to evaluate American techniques in all-metal aircraft construction.
