• 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.

Thanks Robert - quite obscure that one.
Here's a handsome floater, all spruced up but missing its nacelles. Had an interesting history too..........:guinness:

One of Chris' famously minimalist answers ! The Nanok indeed - my little clue of the stout glass :guinness: referred to the fact that it became the private 'air yacht' of the Honourable Arthur Guinness !
 
After 3.5 years on 402 will be flying Swearingen Merlin next week. Nice to have press./autopilot/heat/turbine again.

This aircraft has had it's brothers in here before

Indeed, a Supermarine that was neither a floater or a fighter - the wee Sparrow.

Over to France, I think - :very_drunk:
