Aktung and Quatro, you are both wrong.

AFAIK, only Sunderland is Short.

I can't blame you for being an American and unfamiliar with our iconic Lancaster, but it did have a very short fuselage-to-wing ratio (wingspan about 1.5 times the length of the fuselage when I measure my model). You can notice this most when you look at the short distance between the wings and tailplanes (this photo foreshortens the starboard wing rather grossly because of lens effect)

Furthermore, the Lanc did actually start out as a twin-engined design named the Avro Manchester... yet whilst its span was only 10 feet more than that of the Manchester, its fuselage was actually just about the same length... leading to its 'short' appearance

Welcome to STEED's weather report here...

Cold due too gusty winds, dry at the moment and very cloudy.

Spot of house work later today as I listen in to my audio book too take my mind off the boredom but first another cup of coffee.

Ooh boy what a week, what-a-week!
In a few hours I'll be sweating my worries away in sauna with some friends.
...perhaps with couple of beers as well

Another day another pound to kiss good bye on bills.

SPRING HAS LANDED.

Dry bright day and mild just right before we crash into summer and another five month heatwave...I'm not recovered fully from last years in the mean time its coffee time.

Took delivery of my new motor last Friday and whilst out on the road last night I got a low tyre pressure warning light. Checked/looked at the tyres and they appeared okay so repeatedly reset the tyre presuure warning system to no avail. Got up this morning and sure enough, I had a flat.

Moral being....trust the system before trusting ones eyes
