Nepal you say?
I don't know. I put his location into GiggleEarth and it took me to Nepal….

I'll post one and take the flack (not a clue, for a reason).

I'm sure you're right mate. One day I'm going to buy a new up to date Atlas.

Yours looks Russian.

I think I've seen it before.

Looking now....

Good evening Graeme, 'Tag Reg,

I can't stop, but just having a coffee and a quick look in.

I would have interpreted butrick's post #27019 as meaning he had two and a half hours before starting work! However, Reg answered in four minutes and there has been no response, so who knows when he'll be back, I have asked him in the past whether he worked nights, as he pops up at all sorts of times.

I confirm that I get the same result as Graeme and it looks to me like the it is same craft and location but with some people around it!

Back to work now, seeya later if I can

Thanks Reg.

See what you make of this. I have made a number of image clues to go with it, so just ask if it proves problematic. It flew...

Clue No.1

Possibly not fair as the top view hides a lot of the bracing in silhouette form. Here's another shot of the same aircraft...

Aha! First I thought it could be Junkers Ju-49, but we recently had it. But it would have been for high altitude research, wouldn't it?

Need to silhouette one. Have you something handy or would you wait another 20 minutes or so?

Good afternoon / evening everyone.

Looks like I've missed some fun.

Isn't Buttrick in the Middle East then?

Having some problems...

G'day David!

Reg...German project? Luft 46'?

It is the BV-155, but I didn't find it on Mel's list. We have had BV 144 twice, though .

Anyways, over to you (unless you can verify that it was on Mel's list and I have to declare the consequences).
