That's it, Carlo

Your turn for the next mystery!

Thanks FB!

Cheers

An old canard as intermezzo, as requested by Carlo

Hi Kevin
That`s her! . Leave it to you whether you want to proceed with a new challenge or wait for Carlo.

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Walter. Let's give control back to BG.

Carlo, the board is yours-

 

[Baragouin]

Thanks Moses and Wout!
Not very easy to concentrate with 36° plus in the shade. Anyway for some obscure reasons this pic intrigues me!
Cheers
Carlo

We are going to match your 36C with 97F today but not in the shade hopefully.

Bloody weather!

 

[pomme homme]

Ah, a blissful 26⁰ C today - some 10⁰ down on the preceding week - with a cooling westerly breeze. Heaven!

 

[Moses03]

Not having any luck with BG's latest. Looked like something from the Pfalz line but I think this one came later.

SPAD 61/3 Polish Air Force.

And to all you chaps suffering in the heat - come to Scotland. Had to put on a fleece yesterday - icy wind coming from somewhere !

Hi Lefty! Yes a Bleriot-SPAD S61 (not sure whether it is a /3 or /2) operating with the 3.Pulk Lotnicwa in Poznan.
Some more weather news: now here it's 10.00pm 30.1° in my sitting room with 34% humidity and according to the farecast this is going to last thru next week! (fortunately the other rooms are air-conditioned!)
Notwithstanding that: Cheers

Don't worry, Carlo. Lefty will be happy because the low temperatures will freeze the midges!

 

[lefty]

Fortunately, midges, at least the carnivorous variety, are confined to the west coast of this country. I once attended a wedding in Argyll where the favourite targets of the little b******s were men in kilts. It was painful just to watch....

Anyway, here's a wee flying object of a more benign nature - quite a smart one, which has been here before in different guise. Walter is poised with intimate details of this machine, I'm sure, but if he can hold off for a bit......

 

[wout]

.....holding off.
Looking after my horses instead.

 

[lefty]

Horses ? What sort of equine chums do you have, Walter ?

Is this by any chance a different version of the brazilian Bichinho?
Carlo (BG)

 

[lefty]

Not to the best of my knowledge, Carlo - it's not Brazilian anyway !

 

[wout]

No Mike, no influence of any substance. My breed of horses is named after your plane (or perhaps vice-versa).

 

[pomme homme]

I think that I'm losing the plot ..... !

 

[lefty]

Walter will explain all.......
