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.

While we are waiting for Chris - can anybody help ? I have been plagued with this problem which makes Aviafrance virtually unusable.
I enter the site, go through the menu, then click on one particular aircraft. It then hangs interminably, and this appears bottom left - why ? I don't even use Facebook !

Having tried a moment ago, it works perfectly for me. I'm tempted to say scroll up to the top of the page ..... but I won't!

No problem here as well.
Have you tried to empty the cache, Mike?

Tried all the usual things - reckon it is a Firefox problem..
Anyway, back to Chris' floater*. Slightly vexatious, this one - the vertical fin profile is unusual, and most of all, that insignia is slightly baffling - looks like Spanish, or Romanian... But the engineers look American !
*assuming, of course, it IS a floater !

I had it as Berliner C-M-9 Flying Boat
I'll have to go back and see if I can find where I found that.
Also had a 1931 date for it. The Forum is yours.

That is a Vickers Vildebeest built by CASA in service with the Spanish Republican Forces.
