Well sabredog,

I can see where you've been led astray by a perfectly plausible caption to what is the picture I used; if you dig a little deeper, you will see that it is in fact the Short S.41 (that I see has just been correctly identified by RegDep).

Still, you have been having a good run today on SC and WC

RegDep has control

Thank you,TC.
Too impetuous I am afraid, and I should have delved deeper.

Name it Mate. Name it!

OK, got the edit. Yes it is Albatross WDD a.k.a Albatross B1 on floats (B1 I posted as challenge in page 1211).

Over to you, Mate

Thanks David.

see you this afternoon.
Unfortunately working till 2100 hrs today mate, so in the interest of thread continuity, sacrifices need to be made.

Open House.

To kick the wheel spinning this morning, and slightly paraphrasing late Mr. Kennedy: "Not because they are easy but because they are fun".
