Thanks for the info HP, that's a pity, but not a surprise!!

Hey, that's mine!
Oh dear, so that's one less up your sleeve eh ! So sorry (but it did make it easy didn't it)!!

It is the Aviatika MAI-223

HappyPass has control

Edited to say, just seen Reg's post, I missed that one, sorry gents
Edit2 just seen HP's edit, now I remember, your comment not the challenge. The record is one minute I believe!

Yep, definitely...
Re my Pilatus (similar case) I found it via google and it has been on the 6th of february, but it's not on The List... when was it last updated (it must have become a daunting task, averaging some 4-5 challenges per day, a couple thousands per year... )?

Edit: I'm still green, but shouldn't it be null and void?
I surely will not count that as a kill in my personal archive, but if you people want and Sinco's connection is too dodgy for him to post I could take this one as an OH (since I have a couple in my sleeve).

Sorry for the sluggish response, just had to restart everything and lost the post I was about to submit

HP, you're quite right! My challenge as a duplicate should be declared Null and Void and replaced by an Open House!

Quite often, the duplication goes unnoticed and the winner stands and Mel logs it again in his list, as you say, it's a daunting task, for which we all owe him a debt of gratitude

Therefore it is an Open House

Found a stream.
Rarely heard so perfect a boys' choir... proper voice training, perfect intonation, wonderful musical taste.

...now all we need is a baroque string ensemble as only the British can devise...

G'evening Graeme,

How come you guys aren't watching the wedding?
I am mate, on a laptop, but not with rapt attention (btw I've got sound via three routes, analogue FM, digital radio and digital TV, so triple echo with the TV coming in a poor third with ten seconds delay)!

I see you've moved from the Land of "big banter" to "Big Water", sorry we're not giving enough of the former in LM's absence!! You Haven't upsticks and moved to Wagga Wagga? You are still in Melbourne?

SORRY, Withdrawn!

On Mel's list (but a bit different than I had it )

Open House

May I reverse that?

It is on Mel's list but long ago and the pic has been deleted. Let's let it stand, unless somebody (anybody) disagrees.

(Damn distracting noise from the box at the other end of the room. Box with flickering picture…)

Same here mate, but Julie is watching it and drooling. I must admit the Abbey and the trees are impressive...so's Catherine/Kate!
You are still in Melbourne?
No mate, always been Wagga.

Open House?

Yes, it is the Bristol Racer 1922.

Now you.

You spoiled my hat trick effort in WC Graeme

Secret tip please Graeme: Is your current WC the Cessna 414 of Baker Aircraft?

Loud and clear:

Noyade has the thread!

Must be a little weird for the Queen to hear everyone around her singing "God save the Queen".

Now you.
Sorry Reg. Stepped out of the room....OPEN HOUSE...but will look for something in the meantime.
