One could say, this is a real grade a aircraft, in every sense.

That's the clue that did it...
The Grade-Monoplane of 1909.
Deutsches Museum: Grade
Ever seen the commercial with the catch phrase "I can't believe it's not butter?".
Well, "I can't believe it's NOT a Thunderjet!?"...

Brilliant Wildcat! If the roles were reversed, there is no way I would have picked that.

American, Krabat.
All I could find out were the details from the site I posted. Wildcat may have more info.

I believe it was a movie prop? I only knew it Graeme because I have seen pics of it before.

The Boeing GA-2 trench strafer. One of the worst aircraft that firm ever designed.

First the 247Y, now the GA-2, what strange armed Boeings will follow next, Graeme......

OK folks. No one knew the Grade Lanzpreis Eindecker, which was the very first successful german motorplane ever (to us Germans what the Wright Flyer was to the Americans), no one knew the Vampyr, which was the very first modern glider ever..........welllllllll........here´s another go at a great teutonic classic. Don´t disappoint me this time
Gee I hope not!..but its gotta be the Taube? and that's Austrian...isn't?
Speaking of Austria, My wife LOVES Inspector Rex. And now a spin off, Stockinger, who was a character in the Rex series. Popular in Germany? or is Australian SBS about 12 years behind in viewing standards!?
Ah, Karl Markovics. He's good. You shoud have seen him in "Drei Herren".
Drei Herren (1998)
Rex was very popular in the late 1990's, but I wasn't a fan. Austrian humour is somewhat strange and sometimes hard to understand, even for Germans. But I like it, though most of it will be lost in the translation. Even in the translation from austrian to german.
Oh, and the Taube is correct.

Rex still has many fans in Germany and Austria, though i wouldn´t watch it at home. Might scare our cat...
By the way, Tobias Moretti, the shepherd´s master in the series has developped somewhat. His most recent roles were Adolf Hitler and Long John Silver.

Brigadier General
I used to like Stockinger when I lived in Austria, but after Tobias Moretti left Komissar Rex (Inspector Rex), it wasn't so good. It was filmd around Wien though (Vienna), so I'd been to alot of the places on the programme.
The Etrich Taube was also built by the Austrian firm Lohner, a large aircraft and car and train chassis company, originally 'Lohner-Porsche' in the late 1800's- sound familiar?? Lohner did the chassis work, and Porsche did the motors.
