There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

There are two Gere Sport biplanes in New Zealand, one in the collection of the MOTAT in Auckland (possibly never flown) and one that has been built only some years ago and is currently flying active.

The new plane looks a bit ugly with its Toyota engine.

I'll leave it to Carlo to show us a new mystery.
Thanks RobertI'll leave it to Carlo to show us a new mystery.

By the way a bit of philology (my preferred subject): "saltafossi" has a double meaning the second being "urchin" (Spitzbube if you prefer)
