Would it be right to say that the man is standing and waving because the photo was taken at a significant event?

Sorry mate, no.

I'll let this run until early this evening and then post a photograph, which might help.

Try 1913.

Good call TC.

I have it as the Christofferson Hydro, which is good enough for me.

All yours mate.

Thanks LM,

Unfortunately, I'm back to work now and may not be able to get back again today, so it's another Open House

As you say, "easy".

In fact it's so easy you should now remove it and replace with a more difficult one.

It is unusual to say, "sorry, no, Richard"! It is not a Grob of any sort. RR

Looks a little like an ENAER Eaglet...but its not. Would this be a homebuild?

Sorry Skytrain, not a ENAER product. Not a homebuild either. RR

OK. First clue: first produced 2001 and was the first product of this company

I'll leave it with you - off to my bed! Night night!
