Issa E320 AG Estate, bit of an Admiral's Barge really, but it's been worth its weight in gold delivering machines all over Europe and is quite nimble when provoked! Still keep the snowchains under the floor JIC.

Yes Martin, it is yet another septic tank, which is why I thought my other one would have made a change!

My favourite feature is the motorised soft latch and hard pull-down of the tailgate, sounds dull, but it beats the hell out of doing thousands of miles with a rattling back door like on my old Volvo 850!

Gotta prepare the crib sheet now, unless smebody gets a move on

Evening chaps

That's a shame - my initial thought was an Engineering Division design, but having taken a look it doesn't match any of those. Tried "underslung" wing in Aerofiles search and that's not revealed anything, so was looking through European designs. Back to the drawing board with the US!

Merc into traction control winter mode
Sorry mate, but you can't beat the 4WD of the Subaru - brilliant on ice or snow. Traction control....why would you need that?

Well done that man, it is indeed the Gallaudet C2 Military Tractor of 1915

Nicely timed Ken, now I don't have to finish the crib-sheet and David can get his well-deserved early night. BTW, was going to say that 036 looks fine to me LM (as always), thanks!

skytrain has control

That's why I chose it mate , unfortunately, it didn't stop you from finding it though did it!!

Your new one looks very interesting, I have a feeling that all those features won't search too well, 'tiz a pity I have to go now, but maybe it'll still be there in the morning? I hope you have some playmates left, I'll have access at home very soon now and will be able to play late, yipee!

Edited to say, G'Day Graeme, I think that you've answered my question, it won't still be here in the morning! Signing off now, Cheers all!!

Not the SPB Graeme, but it is a Polikarpov.

And good morning to you....

If it makes you feel better mate.... Just a "welcome to the club" would do though!

Polikarpov VIT-2 it is.


A little less streamlined and more heavily armed than the SPB!

What happened on the 27th November?
We had it - but we did'nt recognise anyone so we went home!
No seriously, it didn't happen...I couldn't make it and I think the same applied to one of the others, so it was cancelled. Agreed to postpone it until the New Year.

And your control Graeme.

Fair enough.

Gamma tip from the President of the Gamma Club...
Don't forget mate, so long as there is a white background to begin with, she's good...
