I'm assuming this is a 1914-1918 aircraft?
If so, not American?

The clue lies in your last one - another Brit.

WW1.

Just remembered - I lifted it from Breguets' but don't go into a rage - it's in aviastar as well.

BTW mate, the Dyott did have a nosewheel.

The one in my pic looks much smaller than in other pics.

Thanks David. Interesting machine.

Mate I actually don't have a lot to offer apart from a few rubbish ones. You again, or RegDep or some rubbish?

I'm a bit confused Reg - which one?

Is it the coloured "airbrush" you want?

Bear with us Graeme - I'm not sure what he wants.

Are you up for a little while longer?

BTW, I think you'll get the Ashes back this year.

Don't go to too much trouble for me. I'll have it un-silhouetted thanks. Keep any markings or insignia on and don't worry about any registration lettering, I won't look....

Don't tell anyone mate but it doesn't really matter to me. We're obsessed with sport here to such an extent that we tend to be poor losers and enjoy 'blame-storming'.
