G'day Graeme,

Indeed, it was a big Fairey failure!! The Fairey G.4/31, was a British single-engined, two-seat biplane contender for an Air Ministry specification for a multi-role or general purpose aircraft. Unsuccessful, only one was built.

Noyade has control

Not serrated floats, just the wave-tops...

Well done Mr Robertson!

Single-seater. Fighter-Reconnaissance. Designed to be catapulted from the gun-turret of a battleship.

Enjoy your hay!

No, but it was built against a Japanese contract to be flown from the battleship Nagato. German design. A second example was built in Japan by Aichi.

Does that mean you're joining the GIMP dots as we 'speak'? Don't know how you do that - the pressure must be phenomenal?

Nice NZ sunset....its the cirrus clouds that you need...and of course the timing of the shot. Still, we can match those in Wales

No, was ahead of that bit...had just hit the fill bucket icon!

Here we go:
