David Todd Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) My thanks to those of you, who took the time,to take part in the test rig assembly quiz, using their grey matter.The main clue,in the series of photos, was the colour, yellow.Those of us,who knew what it was,also know,that these kind of test rig's are predominantly painted yellow.(mainly so you don't bump into them,when out walking the dog).

David Todd Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 David, you're doing a tremendous job to keep us informed of the progress of work - many thanks. Thank you. But like the moon,I do tend to wane,often, but sometimes, I come out bright shining and new. Then,for some reason,I have to jump off a table. I will not try to set anymore photographic quizzes, some people are cheating, by not answering/trying. I thought Jukebox, would have been first,with the correct answer. I can only photograph, what I see, any statement s I make, are made by bad presumptions . For those of you,without a Google Dictionary. Presumptions mean, a guess, on my part, usually, a wrong one. But you can take my photos at face value,take a guess and be wrong also, so then I will not be alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
