I think it is the THK-10????? This was an improved version of the -5A which, I guess, included the different window arrangement? RR

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ how many fricken aircraft have been built that resemble the Piper Cub!?! Maybe we should start a thread to document look-a-likes? LOL.

That boy from the valleys has it. I have it as the IAe El Boyero of the 1940s but it seems to have been known under a number of builder's names. Over to you Ken.........

Yes, I saw that, sorry. However the image on 101 is not an El Boyero. Look at the windshield etc. If you look at a number of other photos of different aircraft it doesn't match. Anyway, right or wrong it (my image) is the El Boyero. RR

Cabin windows gave it away!

Morning Graeme....perhaps we should have a timed contest....one of us puts up say 6 Cub lookalikes and see how many can be guessed in say an hour!

Talking of which....here is a very easy one!

Read, steady..........go!

It looks like a home-build?

Was it something I said? Seems LM and Noyade have dropped off....!

Incidentally RR, the 3 view you've posted is the IAE 20c model of the El Boyero.
