I won't be able to play with the next challenge so I will say wiedersehen.

Sometimes when I log out my green light stays on.

Gentlemen: I see that everybody has bailed out. Nevertheless, we discussed off-line with LM about the procedure, and here is the drill:

As TC confirms my belief that the challenge indeed is Macchi M.12, I will post my new challenge after midnight NSW time which is in a quarter of an hour.

I think Graeme will approve it rather than a stalled thread

Stand by.

OK - Time's up! While we are at boating, why not some white-water aviation

All alone Reg,

I see we've moved on! I'm sure Graeme will concur, he's bound to have turned-in by now and wouldn't want a stalled thread.

Your current one looks like a Latécoère 21 to me ??

Some elements remind of Bachem Ba 349 Natter, so first stab is German, and second: From the scrapbook of Erich Bachem.

Ach, LM got the Gotha. Interestingly, I had thought of a breakaway cockpit... Looked that way.

Lookin' both ways LM Walter Wunde(r)s.

Now +3 and a bit hazy. Was below zero during the night but not much. Unseasonably spring-like. The gulls and cormorants fly around in need of vectoring again.

News that may be relevant re Graeme's where/what-abouts: Djokovic defeated Murray and took Australian Open.
