No Mate, I work six days and on the Sunday I rest

Just NB'd the situation in Christchurch - that was one helluva 'quake!

Yeah mate. The bottom end of the world is falling off. We're doomed!

Hi Noyade,
the Larkin KC-3 Skylark ?

[Noyade]

Wiki has this to say...

The ............. is one of the few homebuilt aircraft capable of landing on both land on water. Only one aircraft was built and flown in 1973.

I know nothing about the water bit?!

[Noyade]

KC-3

...and I know nothing about the the "KC-3" but it is the Larkin Skylark! Your control Walter.

Graeme, check PM in three minutes.

[SincoTC]

Well done Walter,

I passed on that one because I couldn't find a picture and the Wiki entry said that "the nose gear is positioned at the foremost point of the nose" which didn't seem to match the image. Bugger !!
