Speaking of Austria, My wife LOVES Inspector Rex. And now a spin off, Stockinger, who was a character in the Rex series. Popular in Germany? or is Australian SBS about 12 years behind in viewing standards!?   | |

Country: | Ah, Karl Markovics. He's good. You shoud have seen him in "Drei Herren". Drei Herren (199
Rex was very popular in the late 1990's, but I wasn't a fan. Austrian humour is somewhat strange and sometimes hard to understand, even for Germans. But I like it, though most of it will be lost in the translation. Even in the translation from austrian to german.
Oh, and the Taube is correct.

Country: | Rex still has many fans in Germany and Austria, though i wouldnīt watch it at home. Might scare our cat...
By the way, Tobias Moretti, the shepherdīs master in the series has developped somewhat. His most recent roles were Adolf Hitler and Long John Silver. | |

Country:  | I used to like Stockinger when I lived in Austria, but after Tobias Moretti left Komissar Rex (Inspector Rex), it wasn't so good. It was filmd around Wien though (Vienna), so I'd been to alot of the places on the programme.
The Etrich Taube was also built by the Austrian firm Lohner, a large aircraft and car and train chassis company, originally 'Lohner-Porsche' in the late 1800's- sound familiar?? Lohner did the chassis work, and Porsche did the motors. | |

Country: | I'd accept either Chris. But yes, it is the HD-34. Nicely done. Fascinating aircraft. I've read that they even considered a jet powered version and the Miles Aerovan at one time adopted a similar wing form.

Country: | bloody ugly, whatever it is..! Looks like a pregnant goldfish.
Realized at home the bracing was wrong for the Do 24 (if only my books and computer were in the same place..!) | |
