I wonder what they’ll call the dog? 😉

Shep maybe?:rolleyes:

The second one is a French oil pressure gauge but as to what it’s off I couldn’t say (because I don’t know). Nice instrument though.

I can see how this happened, pilot was human and probably momentarily distracted. Mistakes happen.

You’re welcome Sopwith. I am planning to attend the press conference. However, what interests me most is the following: is there any chance to see this news featured in “Flypast”??

Probably the best thing to do would be to email the editor directly and see what he says about it.

Any idea what year the photo dates from?

Yes I agree it does look like an Argos or similar,aircooled anyway.Lovely looking aeroplane.

Well done Daniel for posting,good to see the old boy have another go and he is very sprightly for his age,very pleased for him.Thanks.
