Trevor and David, time's getting on and I'm going to repair some guttering. I'll check the progress later today. Cheers.

I see your light's still on David; I'm just taking the dog out for a walk, it's perishing cold here tonight, but nature calls.

Going to be pretty busy tomorrow, but will try and drop in. Sleep well

Ouch!!

Silly sod! Now wash it off, wrap it up, go and sit down in front of the telly and watch the sport and try not to spill anything while you're at it

I've got a lot of things to do today, so not much time to look for your challenge, but rotating it 180 does make it easier . I know I've seen that tail before, but I always have that feeling!!

Oh well, work beckons, try and get back later.

Good evening Graeme.

I gave up last night - too tired (hicccc).

Methinks your challenge is upside down and what we are looking at is a very strong reflection in the water with reeds or other vegetation in the bottom left corner.

Morning - evening

Have rotated it many ways but have not been able so far to eliminate the reflecting double of the tailfin.

Would otherwise be like Macchi M.9 with its Warren truss-style struts .

So, it must be Macchi M.12.

There's nothing that some spraying could not fix .

Have not found a pic of M.12 so far - it's very frustrating to guggle Macchi M.12 just go get your own post half hour ago back

Hope not. Think he had fallen asleep watching boring tennis.

Found any pics of the Macchi LM (I mean not just face-lifted silhouettes )?

Aaaa THAT, OF COURSE. I saw THAT several times, but ignored it .

Guggle does not retrieve photos from it to the 'Pictures' though. That would probably render the quizzes half-way obsolete, so thank goodness for it .

Edit to say: No whimpering from Oz. Is it a good or a bad sign?

Oh well, back to the grind now, it seems like the Scot may be thrashed soon (as was our cricket team), so Graeme may well be back soon.

Cheers, seeya later I hope!
