Been rigging a model ship & fiddling about with fs flightplans all day. We are just getting snow off the Russian Arctic, a nice present from Vlad the Putin - which was a good excuse not to wash the car. Anyway, it's white all over now & I'm hoping not to be able to drive anywhere (like work) tomorrow!

No snow in my part of Scotland yet, Lefty must be hoarding it.

to grumpos. It's a bit deeper here this morning & the sky remains black at nearly 07.00...I am not inclined to make a 15 mile journey on country roads. Don't like the idea of getting snowed in at the other end either. I shall stay at home & have a go at grumpos's mystery!

Yep, thats the little begger. Foaming ale for Lefty.
Thank you, sir - mulled grog more appropriate for today, I fear !
Sticking to elderly ladies, who is this dame ?
Bleriot BL-73?

Blériot 73 it was indeed.
(Still off the sauce, although my four weeks is up. May have a wee dram or two on Friday, but otherwise am concentrating on getting the weight off. 19 pounds lost so far !!)

Lockheed XP-38; "In spite of the problems encountered on its first few flights, it was decided to attempt a record transcontinental flight before delivering the XP-38 to the Army at Wright Field. At daybreak on February 11, 1939, Ben Kelsey left March Field destined for Mitchell Field, New York with refuelling stops at Amarillo, Texas and Wright Field, Ohio. On the final leg of the flight, the XP-38 lost power as Kelsey was coming in for a landing at Mitchell Field and crashed on a golf course just short of the runway. Fortunately, Lt. Kelsey was unhurt, but the XP-38 was a total loss.
"
That was fast. Ferry!
