Wine?

Very nice, and French. It's against my better judgement to buy French, but my daughter brought this one.

You're on the right track. Rocket propelled, using German technology, but not by Saro.

Correct of course - a project, but it was designed to a particular specification number.

I'll look at the number and see if it gives too much away.

That is an inherent Open House.

I have nothing from you Reg, but one ready for TC if he wants.

Sorry guys, I should have turned my light off, I got called away to sort a breakdown in the workshops. Damn, I had your last one lined up to send you!!!

I'll be here for a couple of hours, so if you wan't to put mine up, I'll keep an eye on it, thanks!

Reg may well have stumbled across it looking for RR's recent Chilean Challenge

For the afternoons' pleasure, TC presents the following, and has possibly blown the gaff with his last comment:

Not that much of a clue really, it just has a similar configuration/features and would have been better when memories of looking for RR's one had faded a bit

In fact, it may add to the frustration as you probably will have seen it somewhere, but where!

Not necessarily eh mate! I was just pointing out the obvious similarities, sorry, mustn't keep going on about that, it gets monotonous doesn't it!

You still out there Reg and possibly John?

Just got back from quick lunch. Pasta with oyster mushrooms, salad.

I am not discouraged but, as you alluded, I definitely saw this when I was looking for (at Aerofiles?) the Chilean. Looked for Koppen, too. There is a very elusive Fairchild FT-1 which was a two-seat, though, form Koppen and no photo.

Maybe I take some ice cream for dessert.

Ice cream could be good for the brain and bring back fleeting memories!

It is on Aerofiles and other sites too.

Not at all mate, my apologies if you got the wrong impression, I was really trying to give a little clue to move things along as I have to go in an hour, maybe it was too subtle
