Thank you. I am having difficulty down-loading images to photobucket.
Sorry, it will have to be OPEN HOUSE.

If you mean 'uploading to', then I sometimes have the same problem.

This is why I also have an Image Shack account.

Yes, it has been done before. Sorry, was too enthusiastic to post when photobucket became serviceable. Didn't make it on the list yet either. OPEN HOUSE, just as sycamore would have it!

Gents.

Was the Avenger exhaust above an experiment? Flame-damping must have been difficult to achieve successfully in WW2? Here's another attempt on a well known aircraft...

Brewster Buffalo
And that's what it is mate. "Fish tail" exhausts on a Brewster Buffalo (W8133) in January 1942.

Your control.
