Thanks Graeme,

I'm just trying to bodge up something now, won't be long!

Here it is then, sorry about the quality, 'tiz a bit grim innit!!

Edit:
Bugger bugger bugger, I checked Mel's list and didn't spot that it was there under its MOD Spec type number We don't want another duplicate today do we !! Shall I find another or can you take an OH Graeme, or I see Brian out there too? It was the GLOSTER REAPER (hence grim above) I was just getting some more info, found the type number and re-checked the list only to find it was down as the Gloster F.9/37 .

Edited 2: Thanks Graeme, Brian has gone now too, so I'll remove it and put up one that definitely isn't on the list (but I doon't doubt it's in one of your books mate)!!!

Here it is then, a bit of a contraption!! sorry about the quality again!

I knew you'd have it in one of your books mate

It is Strandgren's cyclogiro, of 1933.

Noyade has control

I'm lost...
Don't worry mate! It's butrick that's missed skytrain's answer (#25980) in all the Acapella talk! It was the SAI KZ-XI, which was originally posted by RR on page 175 (#3479).

What a day of repeats!!

Thanks Trevor.

The fog clears:
That's happening outside as I speak! Cold miserable day here.

So, all good then?

Pressing on. It's all I have...sorry, can't monitor it as I'm taking middle-son to the GP. Will check in when I get back. Cheers.

(PS, I haven't checked Mel's list...)

Evening Graeme,

Is that an AEG C.IV,,,,,,,?

Open House if correct as starting work now. And it's not on Mel's list ( but I haven't checked recent posts though)

Good morning/evening gentlemen.

Over the weekend I shall attempt to compile a list of all challenges since Mels' last update pending him doing an update.

I am able to monitor the thread only between classes (each 50 mins) this morning, so have a go at this fairly straightforward one.

That's probably because both of you were doing something else and not at the wheel.

Challenge was a transport project mate.

I think the inevitable question is in order: USA or CCCP?

And if neither, would it be Aerospatiale ATSF2 or 3?
