Seems to be an emphasis on "globes".
Very capable aircraft!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

But did you notice the nice landing gear to absorb the impact in case the pilot landed too heavily :whistle :grin

It looked like a 'tail dragger' there for a second.

Do you load those from the rear - or does the front pop open?

You naughty little boys are just like the little dog up the road from us  :-((( gives his best effort for the first 50 metres chasing a car, but either never catches it or has no idea what to do with it if he does.

All it really needs is a wack across his nose with a rolled up news paper  :butt

Aww Mum :-[  I caught one once, but it has no sense of humour so I got rid of it. The second one I caught had a sense of humour so I still play with that one  :thumb :grin :crackup
