And you are here all week, right? Don't give up the day job... ;)

Clue: It's a W.W.II type that's one of the few you could classify as 'over-preserved' with more in museums than its very limited success would warrant.

Looks cool though, and that's because you can't see the spring when it's complete. :lol:

oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

I'm thinking it must be the 'other' Canadian one that didnt migrate to the UK, so it must be at Rockcliffe?

At least partly correct. :wink: The photo was taken in Jan 2006, in the new Canadian Aviation Museum store - so it might be either, of them IIRC.
