That's the one.

Apologies mate.
Not a problem. Good luck. I'll leave it at Open House for the time being.

Cheers.

Cheers mate - hope to see you tomorrow.

Thanks.


Mate, you must be tired after today. I'm getting breakfast and heading out shortly. I'll look at your flying-boat later today.

Cheers.

From what I've just read, it was a disaster and they eventually buried the engine in the fuselage which then drove twin props on the wings via chains.

Thanks Graeme.

Now, would you like an old biplane or a very old glider?
