OK then,

I'll just say that it had a Mercedes air-cooled 2-cyl, boxer engine as that's not giving too much away (I hope)!

Now I'll bugger off and leave the challeng in LM's capable hands

Seeya tomorrow, ta

Submarine launched?

The small size suggested to me something that was submarine launched, although initial research suggests that role was filled by Germany with the Arado 231 which was larger.

The other strange bit is the 'Mercedes' engine, as most from this source were described as Daimler Benz.

I don't take offence easily, it's just that it seemed to be "Bash the Lightning Pilot" again.
Sorry David. Won't happen again.

Nicely done skytrain - it is the FAG Stettin La 11W.

Graeme,

Sorry David. Won't happen again.
No mate, make sure it does happen again. The thread wouldn't be the same without the banter - I can take it. (it's part of life for a fighter pilot mate).

skytrain has declared Open House.

C'mon Graeme - fun time again please.

Apparently not.

C'mon Graeme - fun time again please.
OK mate. Thought I may have offended you. Would hate to think that. Sometimes alcohol makes you think you're being funny...when you're not.

How's the weather up there?

Good evening Mate - at last.

You were almost too late - I was about Ctrl V.

I don't think we'll see many around this morning/evening. TC was on a while back.

Terrible weather here. Gale force winds. Torrential rain. Floods in some areas. Are you guys familiar with the term "Sheep Graziers Alert?"

Terrible situation in New Zealand (Christchurch).
