Sounds like you've had a pleasant evening.

Night night....perhaps Graeme will get this one overnight?

But I have not given up yet!

And LM, your chopper, I mean helicopter....my guess would be the MD-520N.

In fact, this may be the actual helicopter....

Good morning everyone.

The Turk Hava Kurumu 2 (Turkish Aeroplane Company).

Nicely done Ken.

It's all yours.

PS, I think you are correct with the helo as well, but I prefer my photo!

Thanks LM.

Yes, I think your are right, your photo of the heli is certainly more aesthetically pleasing to the eye!

On with the show:

I see three of you on thread.....

It's not a Saab.

I'm in a benevolent mood today - go a long way east.

Yes.
