I don't, but I've got a bloody good memory! (Well, most of the time!)

Forget the car, and I'll raise you a motorcycle...



Fascinating...on those big rigs where they spin the entire aircraft...?
Now, you didn't answer my question, again...I saw a photo of a Focke-Wulf Fw-200 with it's "compass being spun"..ie the aircraft is on a special rig with the tail raised and quite literally spun...is this what you mean? Do they still do this with modern aircraft?

Cheers,

Whilst we wait................

The Australian definition of a great evening in case you missed it before:

"couple of cans of Beaujolais, bucket of prawns, couple of sheilas, puke in the cab on the way home - bonser night out......



Oh, sorry Graeme, this was not aimed at you.........................

Evening to yas. It is indeed Mel! Your control...be gentle with us!
(The motorcycle?..the caption only describes it as a "motorcycle with sidecar" but I have no doubts that you're spot on again with its identification!) Cheers.

Hi Mel.

Odd looking cockpit? Is it the Junkers J 10 "air taxi" of 1919?

Graeme. You have it. It is the Junkers J 10. In fact a captured Junker J 10 that was delivered to Martlesham Heat in August 1921. The aircraft was overhauled and ready for flight in September 1922 but was destroyed in a hangar fire before testing began.
You have control.
