Reg, I can certainly see why you thought of Bleriot, although having had a good look I can't see any, actual or projects that match.

I'm assuming this is a project of some kind...and as Reg has suggested, 1920's?

Good morning Buttrick!

While we are waiting for LM to wake up after his 100 % proof Bleriot, have you got any ideas what the quadruple whisker / tunnel boring machine might be?

Evening mate.

Could well be a toilet, or, as the Americans say, a bathroom.

Hi Reg.

My immediate thought was a 'stretched' Potez 62....

Possibly French?
