Been at Old Warden this week. took some obscure photos of bits of aeroplane. See what you can identify here http://www.stevelevien.com/owcomp.htm

If you feel inclined to e-mail me the answers, I’ll mark your score. Don’t mention them here. Answers in about a week. Naturally I expect everyone on this forum to get 100% :D:D:D

Just tried again to view the page and given up.
My 56k connection, through Le Freeserve, will download about 10 Mb an hour on an average day. By my Mark 1 calculator (fingers) that page is about 1.1/2 Mb. Makes it about 8 minutes or so, according to my fingers anyway.
I’ll try again sometime and go to the pub while I’m waiting 🙂

BT are finally going to put broadband in around here in June.
Now to find an ISP that doesn’t charge for what I don’t want, being a cheapskate.

Don’t bet on it!!

Sorry about that. Next time I’ll actually read the instructions before playing!

I usually only read the instructions when it’s all going wrong!

Just thought it was a bit of fun. Who’s saying I was right anyway!!

Oi Willow!

It was supposed to be direct to Steve.

How about a quick edit to avoid spoiling it for us?

I’m OK except for 3, 20, and 22. It could even be the same aeroplane.

I’ll no doubt be kicking myself when I find out!

Any ideas?

Yes, twigged that after I sent a reply but I think dhfan was having problems.

No the download is fine (on a standard dial-up modem)

It’s answering the questions that will take a while

Just checked this on a 56K link (true 56K, GPRS phone) and it took 1min45 to download the page (and the photos weren’t cached). Was it taking significantly longer than that?

Oh sorry, they are all jpgs no bigger than about 60K. 🙁

When I get home later today I’ll try making them smaller and repost. I’ll post here when I do.

Me too. I’m afraid I had to give up. Looked like it was going to take a week or two to load.
