Well, let's see: Rum, hot water, sugar, glass of cold water for teeth, pills, hot-water-bottle, blinders. Check to all. I am turning in. See you guys in the morning :ok: Cheerio :).

Edit: skwinty, maybe you would be best off knowing already now that Mate has a Baker handle and tie, but not from a Lightning. Low altitude Jaguar.

Cheers, sleep tight.:zzz:

Morning!

Are we still looking for the large biplane 3 or 4 pages back?

If so, it's the....

Werkspoor Jumbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PS. Good call on the Gloster Grebe back there Mr skwinty! :ok: Welcome.

Hi Graeme! Couldn't sleep. The challenge kept bothering me :hmm:.

You may be interested in recalling that the Jumbo was posted last November (by me, silhouetted by Mate) and was cracked by you (same link to Wiki posted).

Ho hum. We are going so fast, so fast…..

See you in my morning. Your AQ in?

Good morning/evening all.

Reg, I'm surprised it took you so long to NB a repeat.

Off to work shortly.

Over to you Graeme. :ok:

Morning!

Null and void then?!

Make it OPEN HOUSE.
Yeah mate, but don't you think it an odd choice? I was looking for a trick.

Oh well, back to lurking...............;)

Morning /afternoon!

Slow? Well, turning to my early 70s…..

Yes the AQ. Maybe some have complained that it has been too tough lately. Relatively short lists of crackers on the TA and the Kiebitz. Smelled a trick, too, but the tail numbers match with the pics in net.

What! Open House? Let's see what can be done about it :E

Go on then...........

Morning lads,
try this one seeing that it's open house.

OOps, that came out badly, but you can get the idea.

So confirm LM was WRONG with his guess?

Came out loud and clear:

The Aircraft Factory Sling from New Zealand.

Which has been posted twice already. Do you know where to find the list of earlier posts?

Sorry, LM was wrong.:(

Yessir, it's the Sling from South Africa.(not New Zealand):cool:

OK, South Africa.

Copy from above: Which has been posted twice already. Do you know where to find the list of earlier posts?

First posted by Skytrain and then posted by somebody 18 years of age in South Africa….

Skwinty, here is the link to the so-called Mel's list (kept by an eminent fellow PPRuNer, to whom we all are grateful):

The Original SC thread you can find here:

Here's your next

Thanks RegDep,

I am new to the thread so I have not read all the postings.

Will endeavour to do so.

No problem skwinty. And going through all would be too tough (some 31,000 posts :eek:)

But we (usually, often, …) check Mel's list, and only exceptionally post something again. Exceptions being pure forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, new and challenging angle, or just to check if others are awake.

Reposting the challenge from previous page for easy viewing:

Welcome, Skwinty, by the way!!!!!!

Is that a Supermarine Walrus?

No, it is not, skwinty.

Reg,

Pusher or puller?

A puller Mate.

A yank, mate?

A Yank, yes. With a little bit different question you could have gotten a little bit different answer, though. Only a little.

Edit: My forecast of first 1,000 posts is going to rats. We'll make it today, two weeks before my prediction :O

Whoops… Cat got your tongue?

Was this a very early Consolidated job?

Not Consolidated. Someone more interested in railroads than flying, in fact…..

I'll get you for this.............

What would you have said if RR had asked 'American?'

How about if I had asked if it was a Yankee? Would that have got the differnt answer?

That would have got you lots of Clippers prolly.

Well, had he asked "Italian?" I would have answered…….

Presumably no because you have said it is a Yank!! :uhoh:

I would have answered "Well, there is a connection……"

Dornier - Do.24ATT Amphibian?

Fairchild bought out Dornier and Dornier built railroad equip as well as aircraft.

ETA: Wrong type.:mad:
