Tito's yachts:

Primorka used to visit island Brioni where he spent weeks in sommer.

Galeb used during President's voyage to India and Burma 1954/55.

Gentlemen,

I already recognized, that with YU-orders you will find much more weird variations, than with CCCP-orders .

Best regards

Christian,

Let me sleep on that one

Dear Marc,

a delay of 24 hours won't be a problem, I guess .

Best regards

Christian

Dear Marc,

congratulations - you gave a perfect answer .

Question #185 is now your turn .

That's Lavochkin, the designer of the best piston-engined fighter plane in WW II:

Hallo,

it is not so difficult but it is hard to find the German pilot. I have found the manufacturers number of the german plane but not the pilot

Frank

Dear Frank,

o.k., if no one finds the name of that poor German Unteroffizier of the 1./KG(J) 54 till tommorrow midnight MEZ, I will take the manufacturers number of the ME 262 instead of it .

Best regards

Christian

Karl Marx (1818 - 1883)

Gentlemen,

let's celebrate today the great philosopher and economist Karl Marx, who died exactly 125 years ago .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx

Without Karl Marx we would have fewer outstanding items to collect and the section of "Soviet & Communist Era Militaria & Awards" wouldn't exist at GMIC .

Best regards

Christian

Dear Christophe,

I did a big mistake with the artist of that magnificent aviation painting :

It's Mark Postlethwaite http://www.posart.com/ , who is also an active member at http://ehangar.com/index.php .

I already corrected my two postings.

Sorry for my mistake ...

Best regards

Christian

No one to try this one ?

I'll try tomorrow night, if noone succeeds since...

Cheers.
