Mystery Launch

Mystery Launch – Win a WW t-shirt

The above photo is probably from the early 1920’s – got to love that some of the gents are wearing suits while pondering their predicament.

The 1st woody to correctly ID the launch wins a WW t-shirt – answers via the WW comments section.

The ‘owner’ of the photo & their buddies are excluded, as are Mr Kidd & Mr Ricketts 🙂
