Sorry to have got you all excited for nothing then. I forgot that I pay
for the server that I use for piccies. The free ones don't allow them.

I *did* have a binary feed, which I was paying for, but I realised that I
was *very* rarely looking in binary groups, so it was pointless keeping it
on.

I don't pay for Clara just to bet binaries, it just happens to be a perk.
Means I can look at pictures of orange US Diesels till I'm thoroughly sick
of them.

Thanks for the heads up, Mick. I got to see them, courtesy of Josef.
The PR19 is quite interesting. That's the blue one with black and white
stripes. It has a contra-rotating prop - something which wasn't standard on
that mark. The last mark of Seafre, the FR47, used a contraprop in order to
reduce the torque swing on take-off from aircraft carriers. I suppose the
owner of this Mk19 has fitted the contraprop for similar reasons. Maybe he
owns a Merlin-engined Spitfire as well and gets confused because they swing
in different directions on take-off.

Glad you got to see them. The technical stuff goes over my head I'm afraid
but tell me why did one of them have sawn off wings? Is that the Seafire?
Incidentally, if that isn't a Spitfire, or if I had a brainstorm and
*none* of them have sawn off wings, forgive me cos I can't see them
anymore to check. Some scummy knave has uploaded a zillion 'images' of
the space shuttle which won't open anyway and overfilled my buffer as it
were. So I can't look at the Spit pics anymore
