G'day Graeme,

It's the 1929 Kreutzer "Air Coach" K-5

Open House please as I'm offline tomorrow!

Have a great ANZAC day Mate! PS. I like the self-portrait above

It appears I have jumped the gun and posted a challenge before Noyade's confirmation of SincoTC's answer. Sorry. We await Graeme's confirmation.

Thank you.

Since there is no doubt that TC has won, I think that Graeme has not bothered to confirm. Surely he has been up now for quite some time and must now be close to going zzzzzzzzzzzzz again.

Still, it's not like him.

Now what?

So evansb,

Since your post is out of order, are you going to remove it? After all, rules are rules, and the etiquette and discipline on this thread are usually excellent.

It's Anzac Day he has probably downed a few tinnies.

Guilty. Sorry. I had a very quick look at PPRuNe yesterday morning and noted that Sinco had not only identified the K-5 but found the source and declared OH (clever bastard! ). I saw also that Brian had moved on with this and posted the next challenge which seemed perfectly fine to me and therefore left it at that and proceeded to get on with the ANZAC long weekend.

Official "kill" goes to Sinco who has declared Open House. Apologies once again for being lazy.

I've been looking at French since Richard posted it.

Nothing so far

Methinks the entrance door is on the right side.....
