I'm surprised you are having trouble viewing the pics. The 'regulation' width for pics on Prune is 850 pixels and that's the size I have posted, (unless my photo editing software is telling me fibs). Sorry if you are having difficulty viewing them properly.

China seem to have a decent design in development, need to work on the name though, Y-8 GX6

Lyneham Lad ... if I ever had the money/skills/time, that would be the Warbird I would want. Perfect for family holidays, if you're not in a hurry to get there

Had the same thoughts about a classic car (Healey 3000, anyone?) but thoughts of a classic aircraft never troubled my meagre grey cells.

And we now return you to the thread...
