Good evening Graeme,
I hope you had a Good Christmas!
Probably; but never underestimate the ability of our boys to grab defeat from the jaws of victory!! Although, they would have to be pretty bad to do that now.
Yes, it was my clue, 'coz there was nobody about!
Another snippet it's from Western Europe and still exists
Edited to say Bugger; looks like I missed him; there must be a lot of Bond movies on the box tonight
!
Snippet answers your PM LM
Going offline for a while now, will put light on when I return later this afternoon.
Please feel free to post guesses, questions or stabs in the dark! I shall return!!

We're screwed!

Guten Tag Reg,
Now, now; would I be that devious
! No, the museaum is in the country of its birth!
Hoping your trip concludes in a safe and reasonably timely manner.

Hallo Sinco. OK. Not that devious. Then less. Let's see.
Travel was OK considering the weather. Only some two hours delay on a scheduled six hour trip, which would be considered a success these days, I should say. And the German Bundesbahn will pay back 50% of the fare because of the delay. Travelers' Rights, you see!
A lot of widgets on the nose of the challenge, by the way.
Or are they gadgets? Too old to tell the difference, I am.

Welcome home (I presume) Reg,
That journey doesn't sound too bad, considering the weather, and the refund from the Bundesbahn eases the pain I imagine
A pretty standard three-cylinder radial is responsible for the widgets!
Edited to say:
Well Reg, your light still on, but I don't know if you're still about!
I'm just having a few beers and watching an Agatha Christie detective movie on the TV, so I'll be here for quite a while yet if you want to try casting a little bait before I doze off!!
I would say, knowing as I do about what's on the net on this little 'plane, that finding its country of origin is almost essential. So don't forget it's from Western Europe.

Guten Tag Reg,
No apologies required mate!
It was in a way; referring to our fellow player from Wales (skytrain10) who "discovered" a certain very usefull Belgian website!
Possibly my last clue (beer and fictional detective) stirred memories, as I know you also found the site chasing one of skytrains challenges.
Well done! It is indeed the Kreit Lambrinck KL 2 (OO-ANP)
RegDep has Control

Was this a clue, too?

Thanks Sinco.
In fact, I was somehow transfixed to the Principalities and thought the only principality where an aircraft would have been built and an aviation museum would exist were Luxembourg (not Monaco, Andorra, Liechtenstein, nor San Marino). As there were none in LX, I wondered what would be another inconspicuous () country and looked at Swiss and Belgian Aviation museum lists. Beer, facial hirsutism (I think thats what Agatha Christie called it), cloak or magnifying glass I had overlooked.
I don't think LM has anything for me now, so Open House, while I will send something to him.

Thanks Reg; that's why I said it was a clue only "in a way", it was really a coded message to LM.
Had you been around I would have phrased it differently, as skytrain's profile only mentions Pembrokeshire and although he has discussed the weather in Wales recently, the term Principality is rather obscure for a non-UK national, but you were away at the time and I thought that the challenge would be solved before your return, especially as skytrain had put in an appearance earlier!
Sorry for any confusion, but at least you did get there ultimately!!
Be aware that Graeme has "threatened" to return today too; so we may get a response to your Open House!
Edited to say: Good morning LM and G'day Graeme if you're out there!

I stick to my rules though - if it's a proxy post.
I wonder if I'm the only player with several OH options available.
