Very narrow and tall engine - typical old design for speed.

Designed with speed in mind?

Apart from that dorsal hump, I was (actually, I am) going to say the SO.6000 Triton?

The hump is the cockpit and it was designed for speed!

it won't last long in present ompany!
I was hoping the angle would disguise it a little, but.....

David has it , the Caudron C.460



Lightning Mate has control

Morning...well I was about to say the C.460 but David was there first....I'm sure you're right David

And well done to Trevor for getting my Chinese offering. Nice to see things don't really change in the east - why licence build when you can reverse engineer! This one is interesting in that they seem to have mixed the old style fuselage (introduced on the original TB-9/TB-10 range) with the fin/wings of the "new" TB-20/21XL models.

York June Bug ??

I've go to go out for a while and can't delve at the moment, so OH please if correct

Edit: Snap!!! Well it looks like it was "designed for "cow pasture operation."
