Just how good are you guys?
Looks like a model of OO-ALV - a Renard R.17!

Thanks LM.

Going out now for a couple of hours, but here's one to consider whilst I'm gone:

Hello mate....hope all is well with you? Heard about all the flooding there....you ok where you are?

A European design, but not French.

Not a recent design - first flew in the 60's.

It's good where I am but not so good as you go further North.

How's Winter?

Mate, in your silhouette...where's the pilot? Further back? Tandem seats? Parasol wing?

Lot of talk about Belgium earlier.....?

Good night
Night!

At least you've stayed clear of it. Looks pretty bad on the news reports.

Winter has eased....after a month of freezing temps its warmed up - reached 11C yesterday - thats 21C warmer than it was a week ago!

The pilot is further back although there is a tiny part of him visible.
Single seat, parasol wing.

Not Belgian mate.

Ok. Thanks for that.
About to hit the sack? Taking any time off work?

Will be hitting it very soon!

I was back to work Sunday, but off Monday/Tuesday, so not too bad. At Gatwick Airport today through Friday (we have an office here), then back to Wales. And you?

Taking two weeks off in the middle of January. Going to spend one of those weeks in Melbourne with the family.

Will be hitting it very soon!
Ok mate, I'll let you go! Cheers.

Ok, I'll say good night and will check up tomorrow morning to see if you've got it.

I mean't to say, it is a kitplane.

Not taking this off from LM's hands, but in the pictures I have seen of Clutton kits, the wing is farther back relative to the cockpit - or is this just a picture angle illusion?

Hi RegDep - maybe a perspective thing, or a different model, but its definitely a Clutton design.

Now surely its very very easy - there aren't too many Clutton designs!
