Thanks David. I was scratching my head with that one...nothing to do with the wing strut!

Talking of struts, I apologise now if I have missed one:)

Italian mate?


Possibly collecting/delivering cars for my sons' company - it's all high-end stuff.
I have a mental image of Dennis Waterman and Minder. :)

Are you saying you picture David as Arthur Daley? :)

Noyade 5th Jul 2012 22:27

Evening Mel. :)


Arthur Daley?
Yeah. He was the older guy, right? The shonky guy, always getting into trouble...? :)

Karlark 5th Jul 2012 23:14

Not Italian but it is European.

Noyade 5th Jul 2012 23:24

Rather sleek looking machine Karl. Military or Civil?

Karlark 5th Jul 2012 23:40

There were only a few examples, one being a mailplane. The Germans changed the name in early WW2, although it is not a German aircraft.

Noyade 5th Jul 2012 23:47

French?............

Karlark 5th Jul 2012 23:53

Yessir.....

Edit to say: Yah :), and usual rules apply.

Noyade 5th Jul 2012 23:59

Suppose to say 'Yah' Karl. :)
