This very silly game is now going on for another thirty minutes!

Anyone want an Open House, or are you all prepared to wait?

Everyone to their own, mate. I'm not a football fan (what is soccer?) but it was a thrilling game, full of dutch thuggery, and the best team in the world won! What could be bad about that?

Back to the planes......

Not exactly a final (our tournament) to remember...but the best team won (despite the fact that I had always reckoned Holland would win!).

Shutting down for the night now....catch you all tomorrow.

Good morning all.

The challenge looks fairly old.
Inline engine it seems - European?

Good morning mate.

Yes, European. The fashion of the man in the background probably will tell you the vintage.

Let's see if this moves quicker and easier today!

Yes you do!!! Whether that would have been on the production machine is unknown, though.

(I have to admit now that I've arrived at work and realised that I left the information on this at home! I hope my memory holds out!)

Oh dear....

It looks 1970ish. I base that on the fact that it has a tricyle gear and the jacket.

I'm drifting to France.

OK, my inertial navigation system has just gone down!

So, it was a prototype?
