Cheers Dave Kearton I wonder what all that debris strummed across the airfield was? my guess is: it *used* to be an aircraft.... look at the large lump to the left side. that might be an engine. redc1c4, (maybe a weapons loading error?) -- "Enlisted men are stupid, but extremely cunning and sly, and bear considerable watching."
