Why is it that when I proxy post it usually lasts longer than one of my own?

For myself then, I have lined up a cracker..................

Swallow Dole was a two-seater, the challenge carried five.

Agreed, let's go to a biplane.

Knoll KN-1. Missing a sawhorse (Plywood-clad wings)

The floor is yours!

Evening stranger.

Is it a Pfalz?

Thinking about it, it might be a Nieuport.

Thinking further, I'll shoot for the Nieuport 17, or possibly the 11.

Evening John
Yep, very quiet - I was out today celebrating my 52nd and missed all the action, but there wasn't any!
Did you get that set list done?
Ken

Closing down now, catch you another day. Cheers

Many happy returns! Hope you've had a great day!

Still working on the set list(s)...I aim for around 40 songs in the start hoping that we can make a reasonable hash of 30 of them, then we are good to go...

What is more complex at the minute is, as soon as I said I was coming out of 'retirement' and was going to put a band together I was inundated with people wanting to play.

Currently have 3 drummers, 4 lead guitarists and 3 bass players & 1 lead vocals...

Congrats Ken. Now, the plan is...keep having them!

finished that gate yet?
Two-tone camouflage green...

But all you need is one No.1 hit and you'll all be millionaires I love Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle". One song and an instant millionaire...but how on earth did the British Government use it in an anti-terrorist campaign??!...

Cat's in the Cradle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(By the way, the caption doesn't mention what the Nieuport was "chasing."..?)

Orrabest Ken!

Sorry - it's late - and I have been out.

Left the good challenge at work, so here's one to be going on with:

By the way Graeme,

I think the aeroplane being chased by your Nieuport is a Spad, but which one is difficult to see.

Good afternoon/evening mate.
