Sorry to cause grief.

I'm not putting anything on "Challenge" because monitoring two threads just becomes a pain. It can also be slower than a snail.

PS - you and I will have the same age in two weeks. I'm still trying to make a decision.

That's the radiator you can see protruding above the top wing!

Edit2: I have now seen another photo with the radiator mounted on the underside of the upper wing (still on the centre-line)

The same pictute is on Breguets, but that's not where I got it, so you don't have to remember your password

Edit: I've made my decision !!

Not AT work today, but I'll continue to work 'coz I enjoy it (and not paying NIC anymore, yipee), but I'm taking my state pension now rather than deferring it! I think that the benefit of a larger deferred pension later is outweighed by the risk of snuffing it before you get that extra back, or any of what you've paid in for that matter in the worst case!

Couldn't agree more.

Just had a thought - this wouldn't be from the same site as the last on would it?

I was surprise to find that the manufacturer isn't listed on Airwar, but I found and used the challenge picture on another Russian site!

That always had me puzzled too; I thought you were the expert in searching there!!

Here you go, I'll be generous, it's one of the 999 or so entries on this index page, happy hunting !!

Your hunch paid off and you've found the picture, however, it's actually the Sablatnig C.1 (The N.1 was a later fighter development and the "or" given on the caption) according to the more detailed description and photos here:

Sablatnig C.I/C.II/N.I

OK.

1. The very old and slow one which you seem to want to avoid or...

2. A modern rotary wing.

Can't you afford a housekeeper?
