Hi LM, Its a two bladed prop.

Bomber has been waiting for his walk for a while, so I will be out again for an hour or so. I'll check how you're doing when I get back.

Well done One11,

Correct on both counts. 'A' shed in the background rather gives the location away...

The Petrel was built here in Farnham. I saw six under construction, but only
two flew. The one pictured was a glider tug at Lasham until recently. Power on this one was a 180hp Lycoming.

Good evening / morning Gentlemen. What a beauty!

Must still stay in the hospital some more days for check-ups but will be online soon. Good to see you keep having fun.

Sent this using a friend's iPhone. Nice toy (pro-bono advertsement)

Take care. Over and out.

Very well but a busy day. All cracks filled, sealed and painted. Just in time as we are due heavy rain tonight - hopefully the paint is now dry!

That's good. Did you do the rendering? I'm going to have a go soon. Small job though, mail box and front fence...

No, I didn't do the rendering...merely a case of filling cracks in it. Just used PVA/water mix, then an exterior filler, then sealed again with PVA, then painted.

That's were I went very wrong with some brickwork repair earlier this year. I didn't add PVA to the mortar mix and now it continually leaches lime in the form of powder and no paint will stick.

Anyway mate, I'll pop back later and see what you put up. Take requests? WW2 please!

Skytrain10 takes control - having been first to get the Gwinn Aircar.

Mate I like it!! How do you do it?.
Thanks Noyade. Lacking top-of-range graphics software I find low tech is faster.
1 - Scan image B&W or "grayscale" - preferable one already mainly black
2 - Print
2 - Apply black felt tip as required
3 - re scan

Cheers , Doug
