Picture of the day (general)....

How many engines & crew members do you think a TBF or TBM have?

Yes!

Joking aside, IIRC, four engines and 8 crewmembers.

 

[special ed]

Maybe they are flying a B-17 crew to their base. A TBF has a large fuselage. I sat in one.

 

[Gnomey]

Good shots!

I believe that shot is from the cockpit of a PBY. No TBF/M involved.

Definitely a TBF, Wes.

I stand corrected. Where did you get that caption from? It didn't show on my cellphone screen. How did you find that URL?
Dumb de dumb-dumb, that's me.

G'day Wes.

You're not dumb at all sir. I can see where you were coming from - especially a small image on a mobile phone.
On the PC you can click right on the image and select Google Reverse Image Search.

If the image has been loaded onto the net - Google will list all the associated sites. I just selected/copied the bottom one and 'pasted' it in my post.

I've no idea if you can do this on a mobile?

Cheers mate!

When you want you hang something on the wall, but the missus says no....

Show them this....

At home with the Bonnier's. Jo Bonnier drove this BRM V12 powered McLaren M5A to sixth place in the 1968 Italian Grand Prix. And then he stuck it on his wall!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Ok, not that's pretty cool!

 

[SaparotRob]

Parking must be a b!tch on the estate.

 

[Capt. Vick]

6th and he hangs it on the wall? I wouldn't hang anything less than 3rd on MY wall.

 

[Dana Bell]

I hope he's not using those 3M removable sticker hooks. If he is, he'll need at least four of them...

Cheers,



Dana

In May 1910, European royalty gathered in London for the funeral of King Edward VII.

Among the mourners were nine reigning kings, who were photographed together in what very well may be the only photograph of nine reigning kings ever taken.

Of the nine sovereigns pictured, four would be deposed and one assassinated.

Standing, from left to right: King Haakon VII of Norway, Tsar Ferdinand of the Bulgarians, King Manuel II of Portugal and the Algarve, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Prussia, King George I of the Hellenes and King Albert I of the Belgians.

Seated, from left to right: King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King George V of the United Kingdom, and King Frederick VIII of Denmark.
