Until the forums get fixed you have to embed the graphic or provide a link to a hosting site.

**lefty** · April 20th, 2009, 00:38

Embed the graphic ? How, pray ?

***Moses03*** · April 20th, 2009, 04:56

Here is how I do it. Go to this site: http://tinypic.com/ Upload your pic. After you upload, just copy and paste the link into the forum post.

**lefty** · April 20th, 2009, 07:34

(Moses being modest again, I suspect)

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 07:50

No hints for the time being, except that is is not from USA

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 07:52

Oops, forgot the photo of the......

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 07:57

Seems have to sober up first

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 07:59

Its not the liquor, its the computer. Cannot upload pictures right now.
May I ask Lefty to post another one? Thanks.

**lefty** · April 20th, 2009, 08:32

Got to use a hosting site for now...

***Moses03*** · April 20th, 2009, 09:06

Ah, the Portsmouth Aerocar Major.

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 09:39

Moses03, I think you should specify whether it is the Aerocar Senior, Junior, Major:faint: or Minor.

**wout** · April 20th, 2009, 09:42

Sorry, my oversight that you did mention MAJOR. Sorry
Can anyone please tell whether uploading is problematic due to the problems with the server?

***Moses03*** · April 20th, 2009, 09:52

NP Wout. The avatars, attachments, uploading and other issues are due to the server crash. Ickie is doing his best to reload everything as was before. It will take a couple of days to get it all ironed out.

BTW- Nice story and photos on the Aerocar here:

Will press on here.

This next one was originally designed as a military twin trainer.

**lefty** · April 20th, 2009, 21:02

R.W.D.- 11 from Poland.

According to my sources, this was designed from the outset as a fast feederliner ??

**lefty** · April 20th, 2009, 21:17

As was this one....

***Moses03*** · April 21st, 2009, 04:43

Correct on the RWD.

The first version with the single tail was developed as a civil liner. The 2nd version with the twin fins had military possibilities and it was the outbreak of war in Poland that ended the development (from what I understand).

**lefty** · April 21st, 2009, 06:04

Jerzy Cynk (Polish Aircraft) puts a different spin on it - ithe RWD 11 was intended for the airline Lot, who refused to show any interest, the Ministry of Transport wanting the order to go to PZL, so that the DWL/RWD company would fail.

It was eventually used as a company hack but ended up wearing black crosses, surprise, surprise !

***Moses03*** · April 21st, 2009, 10:01

Bristol Type 143.

**lefty** · April 21st, 2009, 12:07

to the Texas Oracle. (odd things happening to the smilies - it is a mystery how this forum survived intact, avatars, post count, etc. etc. Will never understand the weird world of computing.)

Come on, Kevin, we know you have something in the vaults with which to intimidate us !
