I use Photobucket, it is free. I also use Smugmug, which is better for pictures I take myself, and for sharing in volume via email, although it is not free.

Sorry Kitbag, it's not a SPAD; but you're in the right country!

It's a bit quiet ; so another clue is in order.

This was a fighter and described as Parasol-monoplane; although it got a little extra lift from a broad strut between the wheels

Thanks Karlark. A French beauty. I am experiencing problems editing the jpg. file names on the new version of photobucket. Sorry, but it will have to be OPEN HOUSE until I figure it out.

Noyade is correct. Just over a decade ago, an investor was trying to sell the idea of manufacturing the Squalus under license in Claresholm, Alberta. Nothing came of it.

You have control.

Thanks Brian.

All I have is a schematic. A new day has dawned and I'm off to work. Cheers.
