Some of it involving cardiac surgery
I hope everything is beating along nicely and you're pain free Doug.

Morning LM,

It certainly does answer my query mate! I reckoned the starboard gear had to have been lost in haste or the shadows, but it's a pretty good first attempt though and a good challenge !

It seems we've got some good new blood, but where's HappyPath got to?

Evening Graeme, looks like a good call to me mate . You're right about TC, I used it on the THK (registration) a while back too and must find some more

Hectic day today, will come and go, let's hope buttrick doesn't sleep through his alarm!

That's true, but he was on the thread at around 4am local maybe he works nights, or is just an insomniac like me!

Good mate. You and yours well?

Crystal blue skies today but getting cooler. Mornings are around 11 deg.C....soooo cold....
Daylight saving finished today in NSW, so clocks back one hour.

If it is the Benes-Mraz Be.50, make it OPEN HOUSE, as I'm going to do a bit of reading and then head to bed.

Daylight Saving Jet-lag!

Cheers.

I have no doubts whatsoever that you are correct, and it sure is heading for an OH without confirmation from buttrick.

TC, I think yours is Gloster TC.33, designed to meet Air Ministry specification C.16/28, which required the ability to carry 30 troops and their equipment for 1,200 miles (1,930 km) and was the same specification that produced the Handley Page H.P.43 and the Vickers Type 163.

None of the C.16/28 contenders were awarded a production contract, and thus only the prototype was built.
By the way RegDep,

for the Spec. C16/28,the contenders were;

Handeley Page HP.43
Gloster TC.33
Bristol-115
Bristol-116
Boulton Paul P.40
Blackburn TC.1
Fairey
Vickers-163
Vickers-212

Start stupid o clock and finish at three Alpha, but by the time I get back it is nearer four, then i had a combat kip. Due to uncertain hours, in future, if there is no reply from me within three hours then go open house, assuming consensus. So Open house due to Noyades retiring to bed.
