    Your bikie needs re-education, the bike is not an item to carry but should carry the rider, till he/she falls off again.......

    The logos on the chair, shirt and hat could also be an explanation. Actually though, I think it's a real good example of a kind of minimalist ingenuity.

    RHP, Nice one... While I am on a nostalga kick, one of my favourites was the old Sunderland flying boat, (could not be called anything else as she was more boat than plane), but still managed to get airborne.... and used to be fitted with cabins as the voyage from England was quite long and the nights could be spent living aboard - anchored....

    Flying boats conjure up more romantic images than todays modern airliners or white plastic motorboats dont they?

    Indiana Jones would have had one and I can picture James Bond motoring up onto a beach and descending wearing his dinner suit ready for a dry martini - shaken not stirred, of course.

    I think he did in that one about the newspaper baron wanting to start WW111 around those steep pinacle islands (Thailand?) or was it the mad fool with the solar powered thing that arose out of the next island...

    RHP of course it's cool It's a 'Walrus' ain't it? Lovely little flyingboat, nearly cuddly, just like that other well know Walrus!!!!

    But they Sunderland's pretty good bits of kit! Made great 'sub hunters' too! "Coastal Command" loved 'em - like flying hotels apparantly!
