Speaking of talking, Tony Blair is here in Oz giving lectures. It's $1,500 a ticket to hear him.
They would have to pay me much more than that to go and listen to him.

We can only hope that he stays in Oz and doesn't come back.

A bit!

Bits of everything really.

Electric motor - 240V
No mate. At the front is a piston engine with a small fuel tank above it.

Not French.

Apparently it did get off the ground, but in the end was a total failure.

Rotary Wing?
But as VX275 (g'day mate) suggested, is this intended to be a very early compound helicopter? The engine rotates the wing and powers that little pusher prop at back?

Apologies VX725 - I missed your question.

My obvious question would be where does the pilot sit?
