I also didn't need it - just thought if it might help Slarti.

When you can beat Windows, you can beat anything, Slartibartfast! PS: has Win 7 a possibility to fly OFF in Windows XP mode, perchance?

FastCargo: It's amazing what else out there is interesting when you don't care about big entertainment. So true! Not only out there - also indoors! Flying OFF, making love... A total breakdown of power supply during the world championship would be great - we don't have enough babies in Germany...

A bit too late, JimAttrill - I was wondering why no one from Joburg jumped at it. But maybe Winder is up to his ears into P4? Gremlin gave me "Nürnberg" for his location, when I started the maps - but maybe he is in Munich now. Haven't seen him here lately, Creaghorn. Dej, that's the weird thing about the web. I walk around in other peoples backyards so to say. But the person from this town won't need to google it, I'm sure.

Which person do you mean, Jim? I wouldn't mind to change my Christmas time location for some warmer place.

The racing course "Nürburgring" has nothing to do with Nürnberg, although it sounds very similar. Here is the Wikipedia link to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring

Creaghorn is right, of course - it's Nürnberg - home also of Gremlin. Sorry, I had forgotten your town's name in Croatia, otherwise I might have chosen that one. Well, here are the next ones. Whose town is No. 10 ? St. Francisville - near Bullethead ...and this one should be easy: No. 11 Bury in the frozen north of England - home of themightysrc

You've been pedantic to me, now you must wait! Mmuahahahahahaaa!!!! No, I'm trying to zigzag across the planet a bit, and with Newcastle I had been around your area already. But who knows - maybe still before Christmas? You won't be forgotten.

Of course it is, CJ! As your town isn't too big, I found it impossible to come up with an interesting bit you might find hard to spot. As for the clock - those old things were made to last. And they do!

Shall we try the next ones? Okay, here they are: No. 8 - whose town is this? Cameljockey's (Hampton, South Carolina) ...and No. 9 - who's living here? Nuremberg, Germany - native Croatian Creaghorn lives here.

Hey, you guys were quick with these! Dej, if it is Gainsborough, the painter, then I know him from art school history - a famous painter of portraits and landscapes.

With such ingrediants, you should get an interesting stew.

That Fokker D VII is an amazing model you built there, Speedski! The Lozenge fabric was printed in more than one colour combination, as Bullethead said already. Here are versions of 4-colour and 5-colour fabric, which I made after Dan-San's researches over at "The Aerodrome" website.

Seems we can speed it up a bit - here are the next two "towns". While No. 6 is rather small, I had made 6 pictures of "town" No. 7 - I was amazed that they had even small sidestreets photogrphed, and I walked around there for 1,5 hours now. I didn't want to make it to easy, and I also want to avoid presenting typical tourist photgraph views, but rather places I find somehow interesting. And I have an affinity for downtown places with very old and characterful buildings; even for the charme of subtle decay. Well, here we go: No. 6 - Whose Town is this? Sudbury, Suffolk, England - Dej lives here now And No. 7 - Whose "Town" is this? Lisbon, Portugal - used to be the hometown of von Paulus PS: No. 3 was Johannesburg - hometown of Winder, JimAttrill and - close to - Morris.

Thanks, Bullethead! Cameljockey, you won't be forgotten, Sir. Yes, TaillyHo is right - it's Salamanca Market in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

I think they invented it?

thewoo1: Who would think that a grown man would spend that kind of money so he could fly the skies over flanders.... Whatelse could you do with the money? Waste it?

"Fat???!!! If ever zere vass a sleek design - see zose elegant curves! Banause! Barbar!! Ignorant!!! Schnorch!"

The idea for Alfred Tetzlaff may well have been copied from the British - humour is not one of our original strengths.

Vott? Clumsy?!? Bleech! My Albatros iss nott clumsy! Calm, yes. Even-tempered, perhaps. Sturdy, surely. But never clumsy! Grmbll!!

I think, such experiments showed in the end, that 4 guns don't help you much, when you can't also carry the right amount of ammunition. And for so much weight, those fragile Nupes were just not built. If you have only a few short bursts, you would have to hit perfectly well. And if you could do that, two guns should be quite sufficient. I admire the pilots of the Pups, who fought their fights with a single gun. With "my" Albatros, I can shredder most craft with one good burst. But with a single gun - hats off!

Okay, as the the intodruction - introctusion -ahm - the into... well the beginnnnnng of the title of zzis thread was: OT - heresssssomething off topic tooo. (Glühwein is also called "Punsch" in German. This TV series was made in the early seventies; an attempt of German humour and self-irony. Alfred Tetzlaff was a Berliner bigmouth with a complex about being so small. He behaved - and maybe even looked - like a mix of Kaiser Wilhelm and Adolf Hitler, and used to call his wife things like "you stupid cow", and his son-in- law "dirty communist pig". A pity you won't understand most of it, but it's just fun to watch him get drunk during the making of his "Punsch" - enjoy!)

Found three pics here; seems it was centered. See yourself, Carrick (right column, further down). http://www.earlyaeroplanes.com/archive1.htm

That explains it perfectly well.
