Thanks David,

Playground open.

Pushers?

[SincoTC]

They are indeed pushers

[Lightning Mate]

Am I right to be looking for single-engine?

[SincoTC]

Yes, a 60 HP engine by the same manufacturer as the airframe

[Lightning Mate]

Then possibly the Wright Model H.

[SincoTC]

Very similar, (W)right manufacturer, but not the Model H, this one also had a nickname!

[Lightning Mate]

The F then - Tin Cow.

[SincoTC]

Wright on mate; the Wright Model F Tin Cow

Do you eat those Cornish pasty things? In all the papers here, they're gonna get expensive?
(Just meat and veg in pastry folded over and baked?)

Sounds like the barbecued chicken saga when they bought in the GST here.

Sorry, heading to bed now.

[Lightning Mate]

Do you eat Cornish pasty things?

Yep - I'm half Cornish and was brought up on them.

Wanna know the history?

[Noyade]

Sure. I got a few minutes.

[Lightning Mate]

My mother was good at them, and her mother before that.

Originally conceived for Cornish tin miners who spent the day underground.

The real thing is in two halves sepaarted by pastry. One half is savoury and the other half if for second course ie a pudding/sweet.

The savoury should be beef, potato, and chopped onion.

The sweet was something like an apple pie or such.

[Noyade]

Thanks for the history.
We have pasties here, which are mince and mixed vegies. But they're nowhere near as popular as meat pies.

Actually, I have this....
