Temperature is now plus1, and the long western journey started close to a central point on The Grand Trunk Road and finished in Essex. Jouney of one day, Brazilian Barbie Jet.

Were you coming from India ?

JENKINS 18th Jan 2019 20:04

Yes I was.

dook 18th Jan 2019 20:21

Can't tie it to propping up Europe, but are we in Turkey ?

JENKINS 18th Jan 2019 20:34

Not Turkey.

Tbilisi

JENKINS 18th Jan 2019 20:55

Yes, Tblisi. Magnificent terminal building. Propping Europe? No rugby club worth its salt is without a Georgian prop, numbers 1 and 3 starting,17 and 18 on the bench.

Jenkins,

Thanks,
I already figured out that it was not Israel or Australia propping the Eurovision song festival.

Next I wonder if the clue will be in the Character recognition or the aircraft ID.

Inspired by French spirits

ea200 18th Jan 2019 22:33

Looks like a Farman but could be inspired by one. Canada?

no Canadian connection

Auxtank 18th Jan 2019 22:54

Actually, the hats look very stylish indeed.

Italia ?

ea200 18th Jan 2019 22:59

How about Larisa, Greece?

Self loading bear 19th Jan 2019 06:50

You are both diverging from the subject.
The lady with the feathered hat has later been a unusual expat.

Closer but no sigar

dook 19th Jan 2019 08:44

"Sigar" is a Spanish word.

It's also Dutch so Netherlands ?

ea200 19th Jan 2019 09:02

Or Belgium? Flanders?

JENKINS 19th Jan 2019 09:24

1919, bit late for that machine, but that doughty lady Queen Wilhelmina at Amsterdam North?

Liberator and Corsairs...Pacific...?

It is indeed.

JENKINS 19th Jan 2019 12:37

US Navy and USMC at Kwajalein?

dook 19th Jan 2019 12:40

Not Kwajalein.

dook 19th Jan 2019 12:52

Unexpectedly I have to go out for about 90 minutes to two hours. Apologies..

Asturias56 19th Jan 2019 13:28

AMazing - Dook has to go out!! Something so important he can't send the servants..........................

Has this ever happened before???

dook 19th Jan 2019 15:14

No, but I'm back now.

Wot servants ?

Asturias56 19th Jan 2019 15:36

The hours soem people keep on here (just look atteh last intrchange)they must be

1. Running a lighthouse

2. Hospitalized

3. In prison

4. so rich they can afford servants to run everything else

Of course I'd assumed from your posts that, as a perfect gentleman, you were in Cat4

Could it be Guam?

dook 19th Jan 2019 15:45

I wish I were rich. If I were, I would not be on this thread from the UK.

It's not Guam but you are moving in the right direction from Kwajalein.

JENKINS 19th Jan 2019 15:53

I look very often when listening to the wireless on the same device. Radio 4 Extra, BBC UK nostalgia, excellent. At the moment, rugby on TV so device screen not required. Ankle-biting grandchildren a distraction.

dook 19th Jan 2019 15:59

"wireless" - how quaint.

Asturias56 19th Jan 2019 16:47

Jenkins is clearly not just a gentleman but one of the Upper Class

How about Saipan??

dook 19th Jan 2019 16:57

I'm afraid not - that's too close to Guam.
