Wing struts above the wing have to be big - they're in compression rather than tension and have to be beefy enough to not buckle. Wings struts below the wing are in tension and the load-bearing elemen

But can it lay an egg?   I've seen photos of that one before but don't know what it is or where it's based.  Such poor taste in flying objects is more commonly seen in the hot air balloon ge

What a cock up.

Sorry, John - B737-200 "Classic" - steam guages, same engines (almost) as the B727, most produced large jet-powered civilian aircraft (I think) - say no more...

O.K., here you go:

I'm thinking it's a copter - odd stick, odd placement of it.

I thought the same thing. The stick and that little window next to the pedals does point in that direction, but it does look like there's a prop spinning outside the windscreen...

Ah Dai,

Ever, the eclectic and obscure. The stick yoke and your penchant for helicopters initially served to confuse, but gliders also have a stick type yoke. In this case, it is a Grob G 109 (probably the B variant), touring motor glider. In RAF service as the Vigilant T1.

Well Done, Andrew - you pipped the Birthday Boy to the post! :thum:

One of these trainers (hence the picture of 'plimsoles' - hah, remember when we used to call 'em that?!?) flew across the valley, recently.

Me - eclectic? I'll have to think about that! :whis:

Cheers - Dai. :cool:
