Blimey mate - move house!
They've been working on the lines around here so hopefully things will improve. Just somewhat frustrating at present!

I agree. We're lucky here.

Only you and me around again, and trucky 04 can't post....

Dare I say it, but we are lucky here too! There are places just a couple of miles from us that have no Broadband and are not likely to get it because it is too expensive to put the lines in. Normally the download speed here is about 900-1000 kbps - not great by most peoples standards I guess, but good enough for most things, unless you spend your days watching videos

If you've got something mate go for it....I can't research online much but I still have books! No UAV's though!!

Mmm, not in my books! Would this be a French, or at least European, design?

Remove the question mark and one of the 't's and it's all yours.

Well that tail should be instantly recognisable....sadly it's not There looks to be a substantial dihedral on the wings Martin....are the outer wings cranked upwards a la Jodel? Come to think of it other that the tail it is very Jodel like

It is to me, a PIK, but nothing else fits.

Nothing to do with Jodel, Ken. This is the only image I have found of it and so, to me, the wings are staight, not cranked up at the ends.

Not a PIK, David
