Pushers?

SincoTC 28th Apr 2012 09:53

They are indeed pushers

Am I right to be looking for single-engine?

SincoTC 28th Apr 2012 10:32

Yes, a 60 HP engine by the same manufacturer as the airframe

Lightning Mate 28th Apr 2012 10:34

Then possibly the Wright Model H.

SincoTC 28th Apr 2012 10:42

Very similar, (W)right manufacturer, but not the Model H, this one also had a nickname!

Lightning Mate 28th Apr 2012 10:45

Do you eat those Cornish pasty things? In all the papers here, they're gonna get expensive?
(Just meat and veg in pastry folded over and baked?)

Sounds like the barbecued chicken saga when they bought in the GST here.

Sorry, heading to bed now. :zzz:

Lightning Mate 28th Apr 2012 13:41


Do you eat Cornish pasty things?
Yep - I'm half Cornish and was brought up on them.

Wanna know the history?

Noyade 28th Apr 2012 13:42

Sure. I got a few minutes. :)

Lightning Mate 28th Apr 2012 13:46

My mother was good at them, and her mother before that.

Originally conceived for Cornish tin miners who spent the day underground.

The real thing is in two halves sepaarted by pastry. One half is savoury and the other half if for second course ie a pudding/sweet.

The savoury should be beef, potato, and chopped onion.

The sweet was something like an apple pie or such.

Noyade 28th Apr 2012 13:46

Thanks for the history. :ok:
We have pasties here, which are mince and mixed vegies. But they're nowhere near as popular as meat pies.

Actually, I have this....
