Yes and no TC: It never occurred to me that a tandem wing would be a monoplane. Probably could have spent a full week on that.

Ho hum.

You think Mate will get on line tonight?

And: how do you like the AQ A(u)ntie?

Edit: Night! See you in the morning. :zzz:

SincoTC 25th Aug 2011 20:49

I had some nice clues lined up, but skytrain swooped first!

I expect David will look-in before he turns-in and give the night shift a chance for a turn, prolly too late for you though :zzz:

AQ was a bit too easy really, took all of a minute to confirm it :ooh:

Edit: I see you've turned-in Reg, sleep well mate :ok:

I've just had another call that delayed my reply. They're going to drop the connection in ten minutes for a couple of hours, so I'm logging out too while I can :\.

TC has it.:ok:

The Waterman was designed to reduces gust response bt varying the dihedral and incidence - ridiculous idea if you ask me!

TC has the thread, but he did declare OH.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 06:01

As I have fallen out of bed I may take the OH just as well

Morgen Reg. :)

Busy today again.

Is this a cabin bipe?

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 08:01

Good morning Mate :)

Yes, it is.

HappyPass 26th Aug 2011 08:51

Morning all!
...German?

Edit: my message appeared before skwinty's, but I posted it after him...
I'll see that I have your same problem.

skwinty 26th Aug 2011 08:57

Morning all,
RegDep, American or European?

HappyPass 26th Aug 2011 08:59

Yeah, not all that accurate it would seem... :\

Edit: since 1) I have no idea what yours is and 2) since this glitch in Pprune gives me an unfair advantage, I will refrain from competing until things are back to normal.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 09:06

Morning skwinty. Seen you long time on line this morning . . . :)

Of those two alternatives, American.

HP, nice blunderbus you have there.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 09:13

To add: The last of HIM we heard in this respect.

Lightning Mate 26th Aug 2011 09:26


...and 2) since this glitch in PPRuNe gives me an unfair advantage,....
Wossat all about then?

Can I have it too?

PM for RD.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 09:32

Mate, there is an irregular irregularity (sic!) in PPRuNe that sometimes makes a response to get an earlier time stamp than the question (or one get a time advantage to another). No idea how it works but it might be something to do with mirroring servers whose clocks are not in sync.

Unfortunately, you apparently cannot run it "by order" :}.

Edit: Responded PM Mate, but now you cannot play if you read my response :E.

Lightning Mate 26th Aug 2011 09:41

OK.

Gentlemen - I shall now leave the thread.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 09:48

Gentlemen, just to make it perfectly clear: Mate did not ask a favour, only a question which I could only answer by giving something away.

Please all other: Fire free.

EDIT: Sequel clue:


The last of HIM we heard in this respect
but HE continued HIS life as an elder statesman of aviation

Ridge Runner 26th Aug 2011 10:15

Oh dear, "trouble at mill"........

We've been working this way for years so let's press on..... Sometimes there are glitches but its sad to see anyone upset about them. HP, I hope you can get back to us!

RR

skwinty 26th Aug 2011 10:21

Long shot here.... DH 34?

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 10:26

HappyPass, just read your edit above. It has been going on several days now and caused more problems in other threads (like JB "Last two letters start the next word." as one can imagine.

So no guarantee that it will go away any time soon. Same with many other small nuisances of the life.

Forward, brave soldiers, forward! keep the chase.

Edit: See (:mad:) this got the time stamp when I started writing, not when I saved it :(.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 10:29

Skwinty: Not DH 34.

Written after 26th Aug 2011 12:33 Berlin Time Zone.

Edit: See: Came out before the last although that was :32.

HappyPass 26th Aug 2011 10:32

Hi RR!
I'm not upset about the occasional bug that may come up.
I've decided to confine myself to watching because if I didn't it would be difficult to 1) read the thread with all answers and questions mixed up and 2) determine to whom a kill should be awarded when two answers are posted in quick succession.
