as for pronounciation "bwlch" - "bull" + "ch" as in loch, will get you reasonably near.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

PS
i-Berg did you know that Melbourne has a Welsh Society and a Welsh male Voice choir?
Thank you Howard, that makes sense in light of Andrew's description of that location. I had a feeling that it would be a descriptive name - a la 'Bron Yr Aur' - and it's top music to boot of course. Vale Bonzo and his 'trees'.i-Berg wrote:

As to the Welsh entities here Howard - I did know of the choir (thank you), but not of the society. Our neighbour over the lane is Welsh - has a jolly great flagpole in his front yard, and proudly flies the Welsh flag 365 days of the year. I recall that I may have found out about the choir from him perhaps.

Lamb chops with your stubbies folks? Or snags?

Such light!
1 and 2 for me, the virga (note - not virgum) looks great.

That's a gem of a place Andrew, trust you to find it and make good use of it! 2, 7, 8 and 9 are the highlights for me.

Ditto Kris, nice silhouette. I'm in two minds about the back section of the statue leading out of the RHS - did you have any thoughts on it?

They positively shine with that back light. The yellow adds the interest, it wouldn't have worked as well for me without that flower - good choice.

Axl,
And apt too, given the airlines claimed (on account of the volcanic ash saga) to be in 'dire straits'...

This might be the only time I will get to see the insides of one of these Dave, so great to see. Thank you.
PS - Why was the discussion around the centre panel (looks like the master cautions?), as you've outlined with the pink highlighter?
The highlighted area are the autopilot control buttons. Master cautions are on the overhead panel....you can just about see it in picture 3.This might be the only time I will get to see the insides of one of these Dave, so great to see. Thank you.

Robert Mapplethorpe would never have made the mistake!
As to Mapplethorpe - he would have, like anyone else I'm sure! We all have keepers, and the rest...
