RR,

PM received thank you.

I now have to clear my PM box because it's 99% full.

Cheers.

I don't think so mate. I can see it in old Aircraft of the Fighting Powersbooks - nat metal with US star and bar. I'm certain it was a nav (or maybe bombardier) trainer

Morning Graeme, so anything for us yet, or are you composing something?

Closing down soon, so I'll say good night.

Correct Ken, but I had an IT problem - my texta ran out of ink, so I had to keep wetting the tip with a bit of spit. Sorry for the delay.

your amateur sketches
Says the man with "see-through" silhouettes...
Mine are totally professional. Just look at those seagulls...beautiful!

The Seafox, mate? Or another Fairey machine?

Actually having checked I can see that it isn't. It is British though?

G'day.

Was the manufacturer also connected with the Scneider Trophy?

I'm cooking Honey Chicken tonight. Just making the batter, so there will be periodical delays in response time. Bourbon will be opened in 15 minutes.

Bourbon...Bourbon...?

Super bad-taste rubbish.

The fin of the challenge is reminiscent of Savoia Marchetti.
