All quiet I see?
I think we give By George until 1718 UTC which will be 12 hours from the time that Graeme confirmed the identity of my challenge. After that it will become Open House.

Can't agree mate.

It was your challenge and you confirmed the correct answer at 0859. Only the poster may confirm an answer.

Therefore I reckon the OH is from 2059Z.

Mind you, there is also the point that at your suggested time it will be way past midnight in Singapore so I don't think we'll get a response.

Time to chew the cud and it might well be just you and me on this afternoon.

Graeme
Wow! Heritage listed?
No, just old mate - albeit modernised and extended over the years.

Can't disagree with that - although I doubt it will make a lot of difference in light of the time in Singapore.
So Open House from 2059 UTC.

Ken,

Thinking about this one, maybe we should exercise "discretionary powers" here.

Graeme did an adequate job of providing the answer for By George and if he had read the trend of the thread before posting he would have kept an eye on it.

Therefore your suggestion of 1718Z looks realistic - after all we do have a stalled thread and it's boring.

At that time it will be 0118A in Singapore. I shall do nothing until I hear from you.

Whilst we have nothing to do, I wonder where Ton, Richard, hesham, and ChazChaz have gone?

No, just old mate - albeit modernised and extended over the years.
Is that the house or you?

Gents, just to reiterate Open House will be at 2059 in event of that By George does not offer a challenge.

Let us hope he understands the B747 systems - I do........

Always up early, none of this "sleeping in" business mate...

David, Ken...he's not coming back...even if he did later, and complained, we'd just say sorry and you can have the next challenge....no?

I agree.

Check his profile - "contract pilot".......................

Not a chance. Surely even a civilian pilot has the wit to NB the style of the thread.....

In front of me is a GPS receiver - set to UTC time..............

On the other hand, I might just piss off and see what happens.
