Kettle's no good to me mate - gotta corkscrew?

Pop 'round?

If I can get travel insurance after the op., that might just happen.

Check e-mail mate.

Yeah I knew you were going to get there, but David jumped in with Nakajima. At least you identified the lizard silhouette!

That undercart door still looks odd to me compared to the starboard side?

That's because it's a single door, not the more usual double.

No idea what yours (silhouette) is, but I'm thinking Aerofiles...

Go get him Reg.

Good night Graeme!

For the morning:

At least you identified the lizard silhouette!
In Saigon we had gekkos always on the wall, chirping like small birds (I was not on anything then )

That undercart door still looks odd to me compared to the starboard side?
Well, if you look one from port side the starboard side looks the same way .

Yes, but with too few words. One picture speaks more than a thousand words mate.

So true mate so true.

Edit to say: e-mail on its way.

Afternoon David. Hope you had a good Christmas?

Would this be a Renard R.17?

If correct will have to be Open House.

Evening LM,

I've had some connection problems today; I suspect it's in the local area telephone lines as I can hardly hear a conversation due to the pops and crackles which isn't good for broadband. They're supposed to be working on it and blame the thaw!! So I may come and go a bit

Down to your challenge, There seems to be something odd about the engine on this, or is that a radiator sticking out the far side?

Is it another Yank? 4-6 seats?

Edited to say don't bother! All is revealed and it Looks like skytrain has it!

That Belgian website is getting far too popular now!

Hope you had a good Christmas Sinco? And looks like you have broadband all sorted at home now - albeit a bit crackly!

Thanks skytrain, I had a good Christmas and hope you did too!

Too right mate; a great site for good pics, but a bit short on info and an annoying habit of opening a new window each time!! Not too sure that this picture came from there though, but from another interesting one !!

My broadband is up and stumbling a bit at the moment(it had dropped again when I tried to submit this and will only pick up again if I take the phone off the hook), but at least we're going in the right direction and I've got a PB account sorted and proven, just have to sort out the actual silhouetting, so the LM can join in the fun again!
