Precisely ................... hence the Caribou type quote from myself.

I can tell you that John L. must feel like he's giving blood when trying to get more clues out of him!

Well done Alan!

If you think that's ugly, you should look at its predecessor the Breguet 730; an aircraft with a greenhouse in front of the cockpit!

Think I'd vote for the 730 as the bigger munter of the pair, the 731 has much less ugly facial features. Does beg the question as to how the pilot of the 730 saw where he was going :?
