I was going to post the image I have for comparison but for some reason I am currently locked out of my Photobucket account...

I have a challenge prepared also but...I can't get to that either

So I will have to declare open house for the time being

Evenin' Graeme.

We both did so now we've got two!

I'm happy to remove mine since we have not seen you for a while.

OK with you?

I'm easy. Yours looks a lot harder!

(Just being going through your PM's.)

OK chaps.

I have deleted mine (both arrived on thread at exactly the same time).

To avoid confusion, Noyade is currently in control.

Well I didn't think it would last long, but not that short!

Very distinctive flying boat. Yours again John. Any chance we can help with unloading your image?

Hi Graeme,

Seems to be a problem at Photobucket. I went on to the account and uploaded the pics this morning no problem and now the password on the account won't work! So I've requested a chance to reset the password but, no email from them yet.

Had a similar experience with photobucket. Now use ImageShack where membership isn't necessary to upload an image. Worth a try?

True. But in the meantime do you want to toss yours back into the arena until John gets his e-mail?

I'm prepared to wait a little longer since it seems only three of us are out to play, and I feel John deserves a chance.

Incidentally, I have never had a problem with Photobucket.

Check PM Graeme.

Hmmm... the torpedo(?) looks too large for it. That and the prop clearance would dictate very long undercarriage legs, which doesn't appear possible?
