Agreed Arthur, Steam over the Microsoft store every time. I bought Forza Horizons 4 through the store and with all the addons that's about 150GB of disk space. Problem is that if you (for example) upgrade to Windows 11, the store loses the link to the software so you have to download it all again - oh, and you can't remove the original install cos it's protected so you have to have that game on it's own partition and format that partition ready for the new download. Downgrading back to windows 10, reinstallation of operating systems all cause the same error. Microsoft's official position on this is 'meh - we have your money'. Steam on the other hand, while it's a bit janky, has no problem with any of this. A quick check of the game data files, download any updates and you're set. MS should take note.

Obviously far too easy - over to you Skidders

The overwing engine is a bit of a giveaway, Beriev have used that a lot. I like their designs, kinda quirky. The Be-200 has been around for a long time now and was out of production for quite an extended period but recently they've started building a more up-to-date version (engines, avionics etc). Pretty cool. Guess I have to come up with a picture now... Here's one to tickle your grey cells...

Beriev Be-200 (probably the 200ES which the only ASW variant I know of but not certain)

Puss Moth? Fox Moth?

Wow, I'd got as far as flying boat, probably British, but I've even heard of this one. Well done Christof

I believe this to be the Blackburn Fugly?

That's the bunny, I think it's an attractive kite. Over to you Sidley

OK Swep, Further clues; 1. It's civilian 2. It's not an amphibian but looks a bit like it should be.

Nothing? here's a bit more...

only from the point of view of being able to google 'ISR aircraft' Here's an easy one.

Good points Chris.

Been at this a while now, but I think I may have it - Breda Ba.88 Lince? Has an unenviable spot in the 'Worst Aircraft of WW2' list... EDIT Bugger...beaten to the punch

hmmm, tricky - the markings would suggest Italian, but Chris would be aware of that so...a red herring perhaps?

It might be worth looking at hotel bookings - provided you choose one with free cancellation, you won't be left with a room you can't get rid of if the dates are wrong... Looks like a number of the hotels in the area are already fully booked for that weekend.

Thank you for letting us know Llama, but you're always welcome to stop by here or fly with us if you wish.

All in favour of large explosions Chris, just not in my vicinity.
