[Herod]

Sorry for late reply, was in bed too. Yep, the Wright Flyer it was. Skytrain10 says Open House

[Lightning Mate]

Quiet innit!

[Tankertrashnav]

Yawn - stretch

OK - airfield (closed)

In Hamburg, for example, please expand.

[Lightning Mate]

UK.......?

[Tankertrashnav]

Yes, in the UK.

[Lightning Mate]

I thought it would be mate.

for example

I deduced that was EG, as in UK ICAO designators.

So I ruled out Egginton.

On the other hand, I wonder if its' designator starts with X......

[Tankertrashnav]

Forget about EG - and no idea what its designator is/was!

[Lightning Mate]

Try here then....

[NutherA2]

Bitteswell? Geöffnete Haus

[Lightning Mate]

At least that starts with an X.

[Tankertrashnav]

Sehr gut, A2!

(In Hamburg, for example, please - bitte, expand - swell)

OH has been offered (for the non-linguists among us!).

[Herod]

I'll take the OH if I may, since I'll be out of it for a while after Friday. "Bird, with hesitation, meets deer" Manufacturer and aircraft.

[NutherA2]

Hawker Hart, perhaps?

[Herod]

Too easy, wasn't it? Right of course. All yours. I'm going to the woods in Sweden, no TV, no internet, lots of fresh air and exercise.

[NutherA2]

Thanks Herod, have a good holiday; OH

[Lightning Mate]

Morning.

[Tankertrashnav]

Has everyone gone away?

Try this one - aircraft

Pilot from North of the Border in the early days, perhaps

(Manufacturer and type)

[NutherA2]

Scottish Aviation Pioneer?

[Tankertrashnav]

Very appropriate given your location , A2. Had one trip up country in Malaya in a Pioneer. The pilot demonstrated what it was like with all the flaps down - like flying in a tunnel. Even the overloaded trucks on the road below were overtaking us!

Over to you.

[NutherA2]

Thanks TTN,

I’d never heard of this aircraft until I came across its name today;it’s a bit convoluted, but devoted anagram solvers might enjoy it:


Manufacturer and Aircraft.


The makers’ riding disaster was solved when they tried using rasher nags.
