Blimey, not so much pinioned as missing half its wings! reminds me of the Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore "Tarzan" sketch!

So you want to fly, the primary reason we fly is we have primary feathers, I have nothing against your secondaries or tertiary feathers, but there again neither have you....... :biggrin:

Great timing Graham, and very nicely detailed!

It does look a bit odd, in this wingflap view, but its well taken :toast:
