CBFS SPOTTER - part 2

[Airspeed]

Hi,
Regret unable to post usual Monday stuff as I'm in hospital since Thursday. I'll update when they tell me something I don't already know.

[Bridon Bear]

No problems Mike, you are the most important thing right now and of course, I wish you a speedy recovery to your health problems.

[Airspeed]

Home again.
Few things to sort out, then I'll try and get back to business.

[Bridon Bear]

As I said previously Mike...no problem at all, we fully understand the position...your health and well being must always come first and in our view will always take top priority.

Thanks Brian.
As it turned out-not so fast ol' fella..
I put kitchen rubbish in the bins and vegetable scraps in the compost.
Sweating, jelly legs, had to sit down until my appointment with local optometrist.
Good news there, both eye pressures at "17" which is better than the "15 & 38".
However, they also stopped Brinzolamide (one of the two new drops) and I'm now just to use Xalatan, review on Thursday, then see the specialist in Ballarat next Monday.
We'll see what I CAN do tomorrow

Brian (Bridon Bear), Mick (woody901), and PeteP spotted the Kawanishi E15K, which the caption detailed as R25K1 Type2 Model11, but what would they know?
3 x Diamonds for getting it right first time, and Knows Art to Mick for a detailed description.
Congratulations All

Mick (woody901), PeteP, Brian (Bridon Bear) and Joe (blanston12) all spotted the CANT Z. 511
All get Diamond badges for being right first time, bur nobody scored Nose Art this week.

Thanks for playing, and congratulations

Last year I did receive a grumble for dishing out gold badges when people identified a Hawker Hunter as a Hunter:
words to the effect that the second highest badge wasn't justified.
Those were the rules at the time, but I think they should be tweaked.
From today on, badges will be more relevant to the degree of identification, so a basic name will earn a basic badge, and accurate identification will be more meaningfully rewarded. I've repeated this in a post of its own, to alert Members of the change.

Only three submissions this week.
Mick was in the zone with his BN2 suggestion.
Simon thought I was being naughty by obscuring the top of the fin, thereby hiding a BN2A MkIII.
Ben served up a banquet with BN2T Defender AEW radar, and "most likely" G-DLRA at RIAT
In fact, the screenshot was taken from that very video

I try NOT to cover up any definite identifying features, (like a third engine, eg.), but I didn't want to put that fat radar dome in your face, so relegated it to the far end of the image, without actually completely hiding it. Ah, now you see it

So, to Mick, a cloth patch;

To Simon, thanks for trying.
To Ben, a diamond badge plus Knows Art for nailing the precise aircraft and location;
