The web is only ever as good as the person loading up the info!
Ken, that makes me feel worse!
Here's a simple one for the night shift:
If I've learnt anything from this forum Ken, it's the fact that different people from different parts of the planet have different interpretations of the words "easy" and "simple".

I'm in trouble again. My wife wants me to get off the computer and help clean the house...

(I promise to look later Ken)

Apart from one aspect it's a ringer for a Queen Air.

I'll leave it with the Oz Saturday shift. Nite.

You misunderstand - I mean what's already on the web is only as good as the person who put it there in the first place. Not your fault they got it wrong!

If I've learnt anything from this forum Ken, it's the fact that different people from different parts of the planet have different interpretations of the words "easy" and "simple".
True. Depends on what your favourite areas of interest are I guess.

David, evening mate - not a Queen Air. Night night.

dfghjklguijoljjyt....was that you with the duster Graeme??

Looks like the 'Riley Dove' converted to Lycoming engines and a swept fin.

"By George" you've got it! Welcome to the thread mate!

Very clever Ken, very clever......the starboard wing hides the cockpit contour...

Well done By George, it is the Riley 400 Executive conversion of the DH104 Dove,

Not seen you on the forum before so welcome

You now have the opportunity to post your own image. For forum rules and guidelines see under the sticky "What Cockpit and What Aerodrome" lists within Aviation History and Nostalgia.

If you don't have anything ready to post, so as not to hold up everyone else, please declare Open House.

Glad you like that - I had thought about it before but there was always that give away bulge in the photo's I found - then I found this one completely by accident!

Morning Ken & Martin / evening Graeme.

Great to see a new player - and a pilot to boot. But he's not on the currently active list.

Morning to you all!

Make another post David. You're running out of time if you want 5,000 before Christmas!

Speaking of Christmas are you going to make another Christmas Challenge like last year? I enjoyed that.

I'd like to mate, but I'm very busy at work, where my Illustrator software is. It is not supported by Vista, which I have at home.

Strangely, I have managed to install Photoshop at home.

I'll have a go, but no promises.

Snow all gone here and +8 outside.

Nope. Funny thing is nearly all the "newer" buildings in the city got damaged but houses like mine (60 yrs old) never leaked a drop. Maybe they built better back then?

You've never seen a clock like this one - astonishing.

Morning chaps

Glad you're ok Graeme - something to be said for the older properties - ours is 160 years old!

+2C and black ice everywhere here - horrible conditions. Hopefully it will warm up during the day.

A rather depressing clock! Nearly 2.35 million Americans in "jail".

That's 10% of Australia!

ours is 160 years old!
Wow! Heritage listed?
