Lasted longer than I thought it would!

I would have accepted XP-1 or P-X, as well as P-1 (which is the production model, although strictly speaking the silhouette was of the prototype)

On that basis I feel I should award it to RR who came up with P-X before LM came up with P-1.



Correction to above, as RR edited his post to reflect P-X just as LM identified it as the P-1.

So with RR's agreement, LM has control as P-1 was one of the identies I would accept.

A close run thing. In fairness I think David posted just as I edited my post. Please re-think and decide. My initial answer was "P-8", which was wrong, and then modded to "P-X"

Ah, ok, I couldn't see that you had edited your post.

In that case, if you're happy with it, I'll hand control over to LM. So David, its all yours mate.

Thank you both.

When I posted RR had said P8. If you edit within ten minutes it is not reflected as such.

Here's an interesting project:

Thanks LM,

I don't mind what order, surprise me, Ta!

I'll leave my light on, I'm off in the workshops at the moment, but will cast an eye as often as I can.

Sorry RegDep

It looks very like a Thurston (Schweizer) Teal, and there were some with tricycle undercarriage. But the floats are missing.....!!
