Hi irishair2001,

I'm the one who should apologise if you mis-understood my post, I never said that you shouldn't play if you were unable to post a challenge after winning, I was just answering RR's question about if we should wait for you to respond, by pointing out that you hadn't been able to post in the past when you'd won a challenge, and as quite some time had passed, I suggested that we should assume that you would eventually ask for an open house, and that we should carry on according to the guidelines set up to prevent a such a stalled thread!

So please don't bow out, you're more than welcome to participate, even if you can't issue a challenge, it's not compulsory at all (indeed, I did so myself for quite a long time), all that is necessary is for you to say "Open House please if correct" when you post your answer and no delay is incurred and the thread can proceed apace!

So keep playing and enjoy the thread

Edited to say welcome back Reg (and LM)! Glad you enjoyed your holiday and visit to Peenemünde, the only reason that I knew about Werner's 99th, is because we share the birthday, however, my intention is to still be around for my centenary!! (Well, we can all hope !!)

My dog/house sitting duties end tonight, so I'm hoping for a bit more SC effort after that!

Is your challenge a two or three seater?

Two-seater, I believe TC.

I still dream walking all the way down the beach with my late Airedale terrier. The most faithful bitch I ever had. 13 years…..

Yes, they certainly leave a lasting impression; the current mutt's predecessor was fifteen and a grand old lady!

Maybe alphabetical order is the best bet
Is that for the Country or the manufacturer?

Country. Not too bad a plan for the manufacturer, either.


Edit to say that I am turning in now. Back in circulation not too late in the morning.

Good night gentlemen!

I think it might be a Bulgarian DAR-6 with a Walter Mars radial in a townend ring

Evening mate.

The tail looks like something I posted some time ago.

I can't remember its' name at the moment, but I'll punt a Yank.
