Evening LM,

I think that's Reaction Engines Skylon ?

I remember seeing the original Skylon at the Festival of Britain, I wish they could have built this one as quickly!!

Been too busy to play yesterday and today and it's not going to get much better for a while yet, but will try and find something if it's correct and put it up before I go home!

Wossat? As this was not counted as a flying wing in my favourite site, I don't care. Be my guest Mate.

Guten Abend Reg,

Very competitive is our fighter pilot mate!!

You certainly get some "interesting" images if you giggle "Szybowiec Kaczka" (that's probably why he knew it) !!

You mean the two guys who are carrying it on their shoulders? The Poles have always been good in showing off. And most of the time for a good reason.

TC my lips are sealed.

Edit: Oh that. They pop up when I review my favourite pre 1920 site so often that I do not pay any attention to those three .

Sure. My ex-father-in-law used to say: According to the old Polish Cavalry tradition, the first toast is to beautiful women. And so we did. Not being Polish but being cavalry men.

Very funny!! I blame giggle's search function (or an unfortunate coincidence)

Sorry for the delay gents!!
