I hope I haven't put irishair off with my response!
No mate.

But I bet Graeme needs an explanation of bridle-path.

He probably thinks it's where couples walk after getting married............

So, Aerofiles would beckon if it were not for the fact that I have a very heavy day tomorrow. .....

Nite nite.

You're probably right about the bridle-path, you are with Aerofiles.

I just told irishair that it wasn't an E-1!

Nite Mate, sleep well.

Back from being a taxi service.

Realisation of brain-fade
All good mate. Glad to have you as a member of the Brain Fade Association. I am the President.

Gonna post a cockpit and disappear again. Mate I replied to your e-mail, but it's your work one? I'm not sure...

Cheers.

Thanks Graeme,

'Tiz my work email, I'll read it in the morning! Have a good day

That's the one Reg, the Standard JR-1B, (irishair was close earlier and I tried to give him a coded message by saying that it wasn't the E-1, so as to give him a head start on the others, but it didn't work (sorry mate)!

RegDep has control

Thanks TC!

I only have one prepared and that was meant specially for Graeme - un-silhouetted to tell him up-front where the cockpit was. But hope it does not go wasted on the others....

Thanks Reg, that looks like a good one; there's not many online now, so it may well be around for Graeme when he gets back from work at about the time you'll be getting up!!

I'm going to turn in now as a busy day ahead and expect you will ZZzz soon too! Sleep well

Good night TC!

I am turning in, too, and promise to follow this one up first thing when I wake up, which is not much later than the local morning..... Retirement has its advantages .

Very kind of you Reg!
My pleasure!

Correct, it is the Nikitin-Shevchenko IS-4. Another amazing thing about it is that it even may have been flown!

Over to you Graeme

Silhouetted, but with cockpit directions...

PM replied

Not military, but government backed, speed wasn't it's purpose!

Not that part(s) of the the World Reg! Although, it does have a border on the Med!

I fear we'll end up entangled with semantics

Assuming that the challenge is pre-WW2 what countries should be exclude from "That part(s) of the the World"? Malta, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Egypt. Have to refresh my history about Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon. Israel did not exist. Algeria and Tunisia were "French" and Libya was "Italian"?

Some unaccounted for?
