Talking of struts, I apologise now if I have missed one

Italian mate?

Possibly collecting/delivering cars for my sons' company - it's all high-end stuff.

Evening Mel.

Arthur Daley?
Yeah. He was the older guy, right? The shonky guy, always getting into trouble...?

There were only a few examples, one being a mailplane. The Germans changed the name in early WW2, although it is not a German aircraft.
