Where did you find that shirt Red, I would like to find one.

An advert on Facebook. They come and go, not there now. When they come up again, I'll get details for you. The red dot was a $19 price tag, but that may have been US. Don't know what they would be in Aus.

Here's the explanation behind the Martin 404 cylinder pop-out. The engine really did lose a cylinder, but it went right out into the atmosphere and was lost somewhere over Northern Arizona.

The Martin made an emergency landing and finished the trip on a replacement engine. They never bothered to fix the cowling as it was the aircrafts last trip to a museum.

Once at the museum, the people there decided to position a spare cylinder in the hole. The intake and exhaust on the rear of the cylinder are plugged, a real giveaway. Nev is right on the mark.

This has to be the epitome of ugly. It's a Russian Gyroplanes Gyros-1 Farmer.

See what happens when you start an aircraft construction company….with poor financial planning!
