Thanks RegDep,

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

Will endeavour to do so.

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 09:04

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!!!!!!

skwinty 19th Aug 2011 09:17

Is that a Supermarine Walrus?

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 09:21

No, it is not, skwinty.

Reg,

Pusher or puller?

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 09:38

A puller Mate.

Ridge Runner 19th Aug 2011 09:40

A yank, mate?

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 09:41

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

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 10:17

Whoops… Cat got your tongue?

Lightning Mate 19th Aug 2011 10:29

Was this a very early Consolidated job?

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 10:33

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

Lightning Mate 19th Aug 2011 10:53

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

Lightning Mate 19th Aug 2011 11:32


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

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

Ridge Runner 19th Aug 2011 11:36

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

Lightning Mate 19th Aug 2011 11:39

That would have got you lots of Clippers prolly.

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 11:55

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

Lightning Mate 19th Aug 2011 12:02


Well, had he asked "Italian?" I would have answered…….
Presumably no because you have said it is a Yank!! :uhoh:

RegDep 19th Aug 2011 12:04

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

skwinty 19th Aug 2011 12:08

Dornier - Do.24ATT Amphibian?

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

ETA: Wrong type.:mad:
