Something only the very brave or the very foolhardy care to contemplate.

Also Rob.
I might have mastered the smilies but not the other stuff and while I admire and respect Ray Hanna as a pilot I wouldn't get you to drive all the way to Chailey just so I could kiss him.
Fundamental difference there I think.

Cheers

Mike J is going to prove his great knowledge of the World and tell us what Hawk is in Polish shortly I would imagine.

Mike, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us while you're still at work? :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Shouldn't you be making a nuisance of yourself, sorry, volunteering, somewhere else today? :?:

ps, I've been informed (somewhat forcefully) that a very large box of Putnams is waiting at home for me this evening. :D

:nuker:

Mike, you should know by now that women just don't understand anorakish book obsessions and they never will.

By now then, I imagine that you know what 'You're in the dog house' is in Polish too.

Don't get too excited opening the box. :wink: :wink:

The I-16 rata (rat) had several other nicknames including the hawk.

Boys, Hawk translates to "Buse" in French.

A Falcon would have to be a "Faucon"!

Sorry to disappoint the lot... :twisted:

Mike,

Some of the nicknames for the I-16 here:

The Russians called it 'hawk' to name but one.

Paul

Hmmm.

Is that Quebec French or French from France old boy? :wink:

Any variants on the word Hawk you like are welcome...

It's French French.

A Hawk is a Buse, and a Faucon is a Falcon.

We don't invent bird names over here, we just shoot and eat them!
