No RegDep, it's not even the fifth generation!

Anymore talk of food and drink and I'm outta here, I've got to do the bloody shopping on the way home!

LM, the email is lined up and waiting clearance to take-off, currently awaiting a storm front to clear!

Edited to say Info "brakes off" and in now flight, will send info without images by PM JIC.

Edited again to say PM away.

I'm off now, have fun and try not to get pulled over for being "drunk in charge of a Challenge" Ta once again, Seeya

Good luck RegDep (with the challenge that is), you're now at the tender mercy of LM, I do hope that he hasn't dozed off though

Sorry to wake you up, but is the picture from under right or above right. Not that I knew what difference it would make, but just having entertaining myself.

If I would whistle now would it be a whistle as nobody hears it (or how the wind-in-the-trees story went ).

Ah, Mechta - say something!

Skytrain, great. Nice to have you around, too!

Guten abend Berlin.

I ain't bailed out!.

The view is from above and behind.

You two should get together round a table someday; down a few bottles/boxes/tinnies or whatever, then one leaves and the other has to guess who's left at the table
Go get gas mask, bullet-proof vest, and tin 'at mate.

This is war! Wait 'till my number two sees that......

Graeme.....Graeme.....Graeme?

Up late talking to no 1 daughter in the US....so taking another look over my cup of cocoa before I hit the hay.

Would this be one of the designs for the PZL Scorpion?

Good morning Sir,

Cocoa seems better than Austrian white for seeing and thinking.

Another forum calls it "The unborn baby of Polish Air Force".....

Good morning guys,

just having a quick look before starting work (will try and get back again later but no guarantees though, very busy and short staffed)

Thanks for minding the shop LM, better luck next time RegDep and well done skytrain.

The Skorpion was probably a technological step too far for PZL at the time, I feel that they would have done it, but it was a budget eater and the money ran out! Quite good info and links on Wiki too.

PM received LM, wilco asap!

Thanks Sinco/LM....I found 3 different designs for the Skorpion....figured there was a good chance it was one of them!

This one's a little unusual:

Evening Graeme...well I thought it would last a little longer! Yes, its the Kasyanenko KPI-5 from Russia. As far as I can see just the one built and first flown in 1917.

Here's a poor quality photo:


All yours Graeme.

I was bred on Commando Comics. Is that like "For Christ's sake Graeme get that Kraut off my tail!"

So I save your ass?!

Thanks Ken, my spelling is from Bill Gunston...

Here we go...

The rule post? Is there any way Mel could copy and paste it into the first post of his "What cockpit, Aerodrome and Silhouette" thread, that way it'll always be available and easily referred to?

Just a thought.
