It is Sycamore. :) Your control.

Seems we have a stalled thread. As it's been nearly 24 hours Open House should apply. And with that in mind, let's get things moving again:)

Good morning Ken,

Not many about over the weekend!! Sycamore's light was on when I awarded him the Challenge thread, so I asked him if he had a new one to offer (and reminded him about this one), but it went out (timed?) without answer a little later. He had been back and requested OH on Challenge when I checked later in the afternoon and again his light was still on, so I guessed he was in the process of preparing something for here, but it seems not, next time maybe, but after nearly twenty four hours, I totally agree with your decision to carry on :ok:!

I think I see evidence of guns in the front and top views, so it's a fighter? Mid twenties/early thirties? Continental Europe?

Just off to work now, going to be a busy day but will try and look in later:)

Evening Graeme.


Gordou-Leseurre GL-410....?
That's the one:ok:

Yes, saw that it was very quiet...unfortunately I was too busy at the back end of last week to look in. When I finally managed on Saturday night we were pending the next challenge from sycamore.

Noyade has control.

Noyade 7th Nov 2011 08:11

Thanks Ken.

Don't know a lot about it so don't grill me. :) But I did find a photo of it on the web.

Did that designer die in a sailpane crash?
