Since Gianki seems offline, I am just going to declare this an open floor and pop another very beautiful plane up here:
(and yes, it's been up before, but this pic was too pretty not to post)

That's the Armstrong Whitworth A.W.52.

And I should have 24 hours before I'm declared MIA! :D ;)

We're old men, we've got no time to lose, god knows whether we're still alive 24 hours later ]read2[ ]sleepy2[ ]sunny[ ]coffee[ ]smileinbox[

Let's pay back Piet in kind.
I say "that's right!" and give the baton to you, over Piet's head 8) :P

But remember: Be quick. We're old farts.

Cheers!

Yes, we are all dead now, thank you for asking :D

Awesome photo btw, I am sure some people are going to scratch their heads at this one. I have a pic of this thing taxing in the lake. Pity it's propeller broke before it could take off. Or perhaps, that is what saved the pilot's live lol :D I will not say what it is, lest I rob some avid detectives of the joy of discovery.

Good side of being old is that you know a lot.
Bad side of being old is that you can't remember any of it.

I have seen this picture before, but I can't remember when and where.

I imagine myself sitting under an umbrella on the shore of a river with a cocktail in my right hand and a cigar in my left, telling my wife, 'darling', it would be high time to undertake tomorrow an excursion into the neighbouring mountains by bike, with the car with the picknick basket following us from due distance.
