Thanks Karl,

Don't think that's a word, but I wouldn't worry mate, doesn't seem to stop some of your politicians from making them up as they go

Now, would I be so daft and maintain the theme

I'm sorry, it's not a silhouette, but this is the only photo I can find of it and it isn't very good, so you'd better have it as it is!

It was a one-off (not homebuilt) and a first of its kind!

Morning Trevor.

and a first of its kind!
Would that be because it was pressurised?

Should I be very happy with that?

Morning David ,

No mention of pressurisation, but you're in the right area!

Maybe I should qualify that statements, in that it was a first for that particular Country!

Well, I don't know everything that happened in my country, even on my doorstep; but yes, he probably does!
