Hi Bilby - Just spotted a question you posed in a comment back in 2009 (!) on my aviation list ("Let's go strap on the ole air'chine and bore holes in the sky!") to wit: "what is a 'rooster tail'?" If it still matters see image here...or, since I've added it to the list: rooster tail.

Bilby is, as usual, a lode of useful information. I once went skiing in Chamonix, where les Guides des Alpes are universally admired, but I failed to understand the sense of their characteristic cries.
They're famed for feats of derring-do
But guides of the Alps are scholars too.
It's knowledge they seek
When they call from a peak
And plaintively ask, "Beaudelaire, he who?"January 11, 2015

Bonsoir Monsieur Bilby,
Where are you, actuellement?
I am back in Paris, being forced to write about such big fat frauds as Charles "Mr Spleen" Baudelaire.
But in two more weeks I shall be free, free as a bird!
Now I need to go favourite the word "wentletrap".

Bilby, I wish you a happy new year. I am grateful for the comments you have given me. I have been slow to respond mostly because I could not figure out how to do it. I have been looking for an ongoing thread I could reply to but I have failed to find it, so now I have visited your dashboard. This seems rather roundabout, like exiting the house and ringing the doorbell again before replying, but it is all I can manage for the moment.

"The Bilby has a
dramatic black and white tail
which has, in the past, been used by indigenous people as
a head adornment.
However, the usual feature is
a nail, approximately 1cm inlength, at the tip of the tail.
The significance of this is
speculative
but having watched Bilbies
behaviour when agitated,
the tail is arched with only the tip
touching the sand
