Good afternoon Ton,

I wondered if it's an EADS/Mako Heat??

Open House if it is please as I have to go soon.

Hi Martin,

I thought you'd gone and left your light on !


I don't think the Mako is the same mate, but I think you're correct with the ATX, I just found Ton's image and was going to post another shot, but you got there first

I'm off now, possibly back later!

Oooops!!!

It looks like we might have a log-jam here!!

I dived in for a quick look for the first time today and just before I had to leave for an employees leaving party; I saw RR's post "I'm afraid that I will need to go soon so it will be "adios"!" and thought it to to mean he was not going to be able to play anymore and in my haste I thought it was teusje's challenge and addressed my answer to him ! I'd already logged off and was about to go when found the challenge image showing that it was a CASA ATX, so I hastily logged back on and saw what I thought was a parting comment from RR about my Mako answer, and as his light was still on, I posted my comment above, saying that I didn't think they were the same aircraft (as the Mako was a decade later) and thought that he had correctly identified the challenge, logged off and left for the party.

Home now and just had a look to see what's happening, and now I realise that it was Ton, who had left RR's challenge, and that RR hadn't been commenting at all, but seemingly assumed I had used an alternative name for his aircraft and awarded me the thread, despite the fact that I had requested an OH (but not addressed to him )!!

As RR revealed the Answer to his challenge when he answered my first post, and my new post at 16:46 would have been correct and before any others, if I hadn't thought RR had beaten me to it !! I will accept his judgement and declare the Open House I originally requestd, because I'm still struggling with a very poor connection and there's no hope of uploading an image at the moment.

Therefore it's Open House

Edited to say; thanks Brian, that's the image I had found before I saw RR's answer to my Mako guess (I just tried to post it, but couldn't get onto photbucket due to my connection). I hope you're not too confused by my explanation, (and can take the OH too)!!

Evening Stig.

Have you tried ImageShack? Works well with Firefox and an account is not needed.

Just a matter of uploading each image one at a time. Usually not a problem though.

Thanks Graeme; but it's not a PB problem mate, it's still my blng connection not sorted yet, with my broadband service provider and line ("damp string") company blaming each other for a 300Kb service that should be at least 10Mb Oh yes, and an almost inaudible telephone reception. At least I'm not paying a penny 'til it's sorted.

Ah, I see. I'm not very worldly but is there such a thing as wireless internet? No phone line needed?

I remember David suggesting/talking about that. My only concern would be that they then simply write you off as a lost cause? If you get what I mean.

Yes mate, but not "out in the sticks" where I am, the only alternative here would be a satellite TV package, but we do have so called fast-broadband here and I'm only a couple of miles from the exchange, so it's only really a case of tracking down a bad joint, once they actually admit it's there to be found!!

The service provider is the one that supplies our company, and mine is part of a worthwhile contract for them, it's just that they say they've tested the line and are sure there's a fault in it, but the line company say they've tested it and it's OK!!

Yes...been there. Telstra operator says it "fine" when they "test" it on the phone (how they do that is beyond me) but when the service guy comes to the house to test it, it's "rubbish!"

Same story here too! I'll get there in the end but its sodding frustrating!

Your challenge has quite a long snout, is it a Caudron of some type?
