    Regal91 – Unless Axel-Edwards is right it doesn’t look as if anyone is going to get that one, so what is it?

    Sorry, Axel and Sideslip, my attention was diverted by a new pay-as-you-go smartphone gobbling up all my credit without me being aware of it.
    It is indeed an Ercoupe – this one built by Alon in 1966 – see pic below. Alon were absorbed into Mooney the following year. I’ll have to search through my older pix to find something harder for you guys to ponder.

    You’re correct as far as your deductions go, Axel – but this aircraft also has something in common with a Beech 18.

    How did this thread about Phil Everly end up talking about Japanese Akitas?

    Bang on target, Sideslip, although I wasn’t particularly after the reg as well ! (full pic below).
    Any idea of the other type ? – it’s a design which has passed through the hands of several producers.

    Yes, to some he will be sadly missed, but I can think of other duos who were better.
    Jim.
    Lincoln .7

    I would have thought that Flanagan & Allen were more your style, Jim (and yes, when I was very young, I saw them – and the rest of the gang – at The Victoria Palace theatre).

    So what is your point?

    The point of my post, RpR, was to get to the punch-line at the end.

    As this rambling discourse reaches it’s inconclusive end, nobody appears to have noticed that the word GOD is DOG spelt backwards. I feel that we could learn lessons from our canine friends – all they require is simple but sincere companionship, a couple of basic meals a day, somewhere warm to snooze, and to have their tummy tickled occasionally. What could be better than that?
    I would, however, have to draw the line at butt-sniffin’ and indiscriminate public crapping.

    ‘ fallen angel – The Passion of Fausto Coppi ‘ by William Fotheringham, telling of the life and times of the legendary Italian cyclist of the late 40’s/early 50’s.
    Also started on Bernard Cornwell’s ‘The Fort’ – usually enjoy his books, but finding this one heavy going at the momemt. Waiting in the wings are a package lot of eight books in the ‘Forgotten Voices’ series, plus a paperback by possibly my favourite writer, Alan Furst, called ‘Spies of the Balkans’. This continues his series of atmospheric novels of intrigue and treachery set in wartime Europe. Recommended.

    Verily, all ye disbelievers, God shall smite thee down with a thunderbolt from the heavens – but, as there’s currently no airworthy ones in Europe, he’ll have to wait for a bit.
