The UK also used K-100 to K-175 from April 1919 to July 1919 when the G-EAAA block was established as the way forward.
G-F was used for lighter than air aircraft.
G-G was used in 1937 for gliders too (G-GAAA to G-GAAE issued)
The UK also decided not to use the Q letter and drop the G-F series when they went to the G-AAAA series and they would not issue the “rude ones” e.g. G-ASEX and G-ARSE.
Strangely impressive in it’s own way though…
The “capture” and reverse engineering was covered in a two part documentary that I saw on satelite a few months back. They had to make some changes as they couldn’t get the metal in imperial thicknesses so they went to metric and some panels are thicker in certain areas and others thinner.

After spending 24 hours restrained in the chair Arm Waver has managed to escape Robbo’s views on life by concentrating on the glare off of his High-viz jacket. He slinks off to the nearest dark corner and sits down rocking back and forth jabbering about the pretty orange colours…

After a frantic 40 minutes of running around after the males in the house, someone pointed out to Ashley the “Vin” bit of the recipe. The knofe is dropped and quickly recovered but not before Ashley has found the remains of the wine cellar and started on the “Floyd” method of cooking of a “schlurp for the pot and a few for me…”
Shouldn’t Thomas Sopwith be included in this list?
Not sure guess we’ll have to ask Anna and Flood…

In a fit of pique Steve puts out barbeque in protest and then relights it and yells “It is my job and always will be! I am the BBQ KING!!!!”
A stunning piece of engineering that…

Robbo is force fed the curry which takes an instant reaction. Suddenly Robbo walks like John Wayne. “Thank god for that Boa!” screams Ashley. A bottle of meths has been found and given to Ashley intravenously and cures the Elephant problem.

Arm Waver is called to the Diary Room:
BB: “How do you feel by having to clean out the pig pen?”
OAW: “It’s nice to have been moved up the social scale from Civil Servant”
BB: “…errr… Thank you…”

A door opens and security can be seen with a bedraggled looking man. After his brave attempt to escape and evade recapture Robbo is litterally thrown back into the BB house.
Floods plan with the bubbles works and the male population in the house perk up.

A specialist eye doctor is called as Flood claims to have lost all sight after seeing the girls in the showers…
EN830 is still in the bedroom being watched over by MrsEN830 to ensure he is not being corrupted by the sight to bee seen in the shower area. EN830 is wearing a face of utter dejection.
For me Blossom & F. G. Miles – some real classics from them and some advanced thinking too.
Thanks chaps.
Not having a good day was I?
