Mate, I have been standing on my feet lecturing some intense stuff for six hours in class today.

I'm f:mad:d and need to climb to 2 feet and level off for the night cruise.

Catchya tomorrow early evening. Enjoy your day.

Nite buddy. :zzz:

Noyade 16th Mar 2012 22:04

Goodnight Princess. :)

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 09:53

Evening O Gracious One.

Is that an intake for a super/turbocharger?

.....(and get over to Cryptic....)

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:11

Morning mate. Slept well? :)

It's an oil cooler intake. The 'machine' has crashed and is lying on its starboard side. It's abandoned on Mt Elbrus.

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:14

Slept well indeed mate, thanks. :ok:

Going shopping in an hour or so for TV sound system and blueray player.

Then late lunch in a great seafood restaurant.

Now....the challenge.......

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:15


blueray player.
From my experience, don't buy Samsung.

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:16

You're too soft in your old age mate!

Mi-8.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:19

Done. :ok:

Enjoy your shopping! :)

Abandoned Russian MI-8 (11 pics)

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:21

Since I won't be able to monitor very much I'll have to throw an OH.

Stick another one up mate.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:26

Okay mate...

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:29

Blimey - an oldie still airworthy.

...mmm......I'm wondering if that was taken from the cockpit or the fuselage, as in passenger machine.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:31

Yep.

Gonna shop at Aldis?

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:36

Wossa Aldis - ain't that some kind of old signalling lamp?

edit: an old Martin?

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:41

Yes, you're right...the "s" isn't necessary?


edit: an old Martin?
No mate.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:45


...mmm......I'm wondering if that was taken from the cockpit or the fuselage, as in passenger machine.
Missed that. I rarely look up...

I'll post a photo clue mate...

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:48

If it's a four, it might be a DC6.

On second thoughts no.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 10:49

Here ya go...

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 10:58

B-25.....?

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 11:01

There ya go! :ok: B-25 indeed.

Yours again. Gonna go soon? You might miss out on the bargains....

(When you go looking at blu-ray players, get the salesman/woman to play one and listen to the player...ours must spin at Mach 2 and makes a dreadful whine).

You'd be familiar with that? :ok:

You get what you pay for generally. I assume yours in a Samsung.

We've already checked out two of those and they are quiet as mice.

I'll have to throw the thread back mate - I'll stay for a bit longer, but in any case hope to catcha tomorrow.

Sleep well. :ok:

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 11:11

Enjoy your day mate. :ok:

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 19:36

Eight and a half hours with no response so I'll take it back if I may.

You might well be the first one on thread Graeme.

Evening mate, how did the shopping go?

The square hole - no idea. Is that a directional vane inside?

Lightning Mate 17th Mar 2012 21:07


Evening mate, how did the shopping go?
Didn't purchase - just listened and investigated - most things are cheaper online.

Directional?

Yep - VTOL.

Noyade 17th Mar 2012 21:12

I was just about to leave you a calling card.
