Ever seen a mess like this Trim on the wrong edge would just match the general appearance

I'm going home in ten minutes and will be back at 1800 Prune time.

Clues will then be given to make sure it goes this evening, so stay tuned.

Yes, RegDep, it is the Cierva BCD-1. Cierva's first design, with unusual control surfaces, it flew quite well. Your turn.

I am hitting the hay. As there is no veritable night shift around, I will not give another clue, but see you in the morning.

Good night.

Goodnight Reg,

Good to see you back in action

Just got in and first look in today!

Dunno if I qualify as nightshift/dayshift or what; it's all seeming to merge into a continuous blur, but there is light at the end of the tunnel (prolly a train coming)!!

I will not give another clue
Werresa first one then ???

That looks like a Beardmore W.B.II to me mate!

Open House if it is please, as it's a 5am start again tomorrow

Good Morning TC,

Another clue? Sloppy wording on my part, there was not the first one.

But that did not prevent you from getting it right. It is the Beardmore W.B.II of 1917 .

TC has declared Open House.

Morning Martin.

If you want me to pick a genre to be expunged from SC, I'd say 172-like high-wing GA, that's boring!

Good Morning Gentlemen,

that's boring!
Allow me to respectfully disagree. The iron-wire trap-like LG is most interesting to me. Not the Curtiss Robin, though, I am afraid.

BTW, the current ETA to 30,000 posts is July 25.
