Thanks. Must get a lot of rain there.

1) Why wasn't Jesus born in Sydney?
They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

2) What's an Australians' idea of foreplay?
You awake?
Ha! Just admit it mate...ya JEALOUS!

I didn't say a word, but it will shortly be two hours since he was given control at post #15232.

How long shall we all wait?

Graeme, if you have Google Earth, just type in Top Gear Location.

G'evening mate,

You being a fan of James Bond as well as Top-Gear, have you ever noticed something odd about the 747 parked in the background of the outdoor shots? It has twin-podded engines and underwing tanks (a non-flyer that was specially modified for the Bond film Casino Royale. See the thread on prune below and plenty of images on the web

http://www.pprune.org/african-aviati...ear-747-a.html

BTW, the Gulf Stream keeps us relatively warm in the SW, if it behaves itself and doesn't go south, in which case we get a lot wetter!

How come Richard left so soon?
I don't think he logs-out, but just posts and leaves, so his light stays on until the site doesn't see any activity for a given time and turns it off. Ken certainly didn't keep him waiting long for a response to his answer!!

Mate, you're the "Master of Silhouette Etiquette". We just have to wait don't we? For at least 12 hours?

Well, I'm not going to accept a dead thread for twelve hours, and I don't think anyone else will.

Ken? Trevor?.....

Hi Gentlemen,
LM why not I post my first-ever own challenge. I don't think Richard would mind. Usually he zaks in and shoots down my challenges in a matter of minutes. Maybe we can mobilise him that way?

I am now unable to play, so I'll put my light off.

I shall monitor the thread in case TC wins, and then I'll be able to throw one of his up.

Noyade

Sure is.

The one and only. Flew first 15 September 1936 and crashed 1 January 1938. Engine Szekely SR-3-0, 37 hp. The engine is the only thing left of it and is in the Central Finland Aviation Museum, not far from where the a/c was built.

Over to you, Sir.
