Nice call Graeme.

You didn't even give anyone a chance to shout DC3.

All yours.

Interesting challenge mate. I went from Russian to Poland and then I found this image from a magazine which purports to be the "470" but it looks different. Maybe the angle?

Only one was ever made, so I think that's the one, minus it's strange nose probe.

Are you familiar with Roger Hargreaves and his "Mr Men" books? This aircraft has a "Mr" name...That's the answer I'm looking for.

Tonight I'm drinking Winston Estate Cadanza 2008 Shiraz at $A3.99 a bottle so don't expect an intelligent conversation tonight.

Nothing like a DC-3 mate?! Speaking of shouting, time for a top-up.

Hello boys! Still away but I thought I'd log in. The latest is the YAK combo that we had once before, I think. Wasn't it used in a well known advert?

Hope the wine went down well Graeme. It's flowing here too! By the way, how are you doing David?
