You're getting too soft in your old age.....

Is it by any chance called a Valkyrie?

Dimwit - I missed the bit about Horatio Barber.

Artnoon LM,

It's lunchtime, but I've got half an eye cocked on NasaTV watching the Shuttle Atlantis make it's last deadstick landing and listening for the double boom as it arrives in the area, there's about eleven minutes to go!

I'll have a crack at your "Big Brother" post at tea break, doesn't it seem a long time ago now?

TC

Hi TC.

Please expand on "Big Brother" - I am probably being dumb this afternoon, but Graemes' last challenge has given me brain ache!

Hi LM,

Graeme mentioned the other day that you were approaching your 2000th post so go check your challenge mate! (but of course, it rolls on and you've made another post since so point is lost )

Shuttle's down now and break is over and I didn't get to id your challenge, I'll try later if it's still here !!

Hi David,

With that wing layout I thought of SPAD. However the engine looks more German???

It's not a Spad and I don't know what the engine is, but I'll look.

However, the aeroplane is not German.

Good evening gentlemen.

The aeroplane was Danish.

One of our fleet aeroplanes has the callsign Hotel Mike. It is number 5 in the fleet.............
