Evening Graeme.....its a shame...if Breguet's had a decent search engine it would be very useful for research. I guess its great for challenges but not so good if you want to solve them!

Talking of which LM, is the aircraft being viewed from slightly above, heading toward us, or from below heading away? From the size of the cowlings I'm guessing those are radials?

Yes Ken, radials. I flogged the illustration from the net. They're heading towards us (flying over tanks in the original).

Easy mistake Ken. I guess you were sipping your Creme de Menthe and missed it...

It's got the hallmarks of a Hampden, but you wouldn't post something that easy would you!

Don't be silly! It's 'orrible stuff anyway, and French!

Bomber, fighter, or fighter-bomber?

Not a "Frog". (Politically incorrect?)
Bomber.

Have to go soon. So I need this to be solved in the next 30 min. How about some clues? Real clues, no cryptic ****.

Here's my first clue.

"Have you read any works from Mr J.B. Cynk. No? That's a shame, it's your Los".

You're not going to believe this, but I found it before I saw you clue. I just happened to be looking at Polish bombers and there it was!

This one is not so difficult as my last:

I asked the bottle shop man for Creme de Menthe and he called me a poofter?!



Boeing XF-8B-1. Open House if it is.

I'm going to try another bottle shop.
