Like RR posted earlier, yes mate I am, so long as there's enough to make it viable please let me have the details. However, if you want or need to leave it until the spring, that would be OK with me too.

I also think that I'm out of images and will attend to that ASAP, to be sent to work or home?

Now I know that I should have started a couple of years earlier to find skytrains drawing in August '83
I originally found it in Observers Aircraft. Then checked on the web to make sure there was reference to it. Thanks for the links and further information on it - interesting. I wonder if Graeme would have got it?

OK, let's call it Open House and not hold the thread hostage of my waiting. Gentlemen, the floor is open.

Surely not a Pitts Special - there are so many variations but it certainly has the right appearance?

Can't make the "emperor" clues fit - never was great on crosswords either but what about.....
Wackett Codock ( built to order of Charles Kingsford Smith) or Tugan Gannet derivative ?
I like you Doug...we had the same thoughts there...

I wonder if Graeme would have got it?
Yes Ken. I believe I would've.

It would have lasted longer mate if you'd used an image like this...



Next time, call me first...

Ahhh....the Colditz Kid. I forgot you stay up late. I'm sorry mate, I missed your post. Bad habit of mine.

It surely isn't a Pitts.

Do you like my silhouette? I do believe I'm slowly getting better. What do you think?

Impressed - I'll be getting you to do mine soon

It surely isn't a Pitts.
Am I in the right era or is this an older machine?

They excaped in this episode (without getting caught) - at least 2 made it to Switzerland!

Going to close down shortly, so a quick reply would be good!!

Well, when you watch Colditz you go into "gopher mode" and it's hard to know when you're slouched in the telly chair or the computer chair. I do know that they're not one and the same...Mrs Ken made sure of that...didn't she!

Answer. No time relation at all mate. It's an older machine...

Right that takes away what would have been my next guess - I'll ponder on it in my sleep!

Product of working from home. PC sits in my office - TV is in the lounge! Try not to mix the two otherwise I'd be constantly checking work stuff in the evenings, as well as SC!

Night night

Skytrain, Noyade

I had my misgivings, too. When I saw the challenge prepared by David, I wrote to him we must have had this before (not according Mel's list, though).

Then I found David's challenge from September: http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post5924795

No wonder...

Morning/morgen/evening.

Sorry I wasn't around last night RD - I can't be everywhere all the time mate.

Do you like my silhouette? I do believe I'm slowly getting better. What do you think?
No comment.

Pretty difficult to get a grip on the challenge. So I take the straw: What is the little square knob on the left lower wing, just above the left landing gear Noyade?

Edit: You mean rosé?
