Regards Syke Responding to my own question, it seems the answer is, sometimes; https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=co...=lnms&tbm=isch But not always; http://www.aircraftaces.com/photos/pby-coronado-1.jpg How odd! Some interesting history on the Coronado: http://www.history.navy.mil/branches...ac/pb2y-5r.pdf I thought I'd research the Coronado in my own library, so took out my book on testing at Boscombe Down during WWII. It took a couple of minutes to work out why the Coronado wasn't in the index... And....? I felt foolish. I only tug once on the cheese. That sounds rather rude. Have a look in Google Maps for Boscombe Down, the site of the UK's Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment, and you'll see what I mean. Rude, no, not at all. You expressed a partial thought. I was interested enough to ask you to finish the thought. In reply, you made a feeble attempt at facetiousness, I responded in kind. I expend more than enough effort attempting to read my wife's mind. It is just too much effort to try and read the mind of a Usenet poster and it is certainly far too much effort to go to Google maps to evaluate a site I am intimately familiar with just so I can guess the meaning of your cryptic comment. Rude? No, it was simply my way of saying I am going to leave your mouse trap alone and not play the game. All of this silliness could have been avoided if you had simply expressed a complete thought initially. |
