THIS IS NOT A CAPTION

Buster (Your ##41602 and #41614 - harks back to your #41564),

Yes, I realise it relates to the last pic, but ":d:d:d . " ......... ??? (Clearly means something in computer abbreviations, but as I'm "Not Yet Ready For Enlightenment", let's just forget it !)

Cheers, Danny.

Surely there's an easier way to spot the centre line in a tail dragger?

THIS IS NOT A CAPtION

MPN11 (#41621),

Yes, that's the one - nicely tidied up - thanks !

My profound aplogies for being so late with this thank-you, but I was sure I'd put it in before (Short-Term Memory loss ?) Perhaps I drafted it - and forgot to send it, (I've done that before)

Anyway, Mea Maxima Culpa !

Danny.

Not what the instructor had in mind when he asked his student for a new radial from the closest airfield!

Don't be stupid Hoskins, they haven't invented plastic yet.
