Thanks mate, but I'm heading to bed. You enjoy the rest of your afternoon/evening.

Cheers.

Morning mate. Looked in earlier this evening but work then took over so never got the opportunity to pay this one much attention. I knew it reminded me of something but just couldn't place it....then it came to me. Unfortunately away at present so no access to certain magazines, which I'm sure it's in

Edit to say, no spats on the main wheels, which is odd - all those I've seen photos of have spats on all 3. I see its marketed in the US as the Cirrus Sport.

As David has closed down I'm going to call it a night myself now, so I'll say good night. David, assuming correct please make it Open House as I have a pretty full day tomorrow.

The Funk above has tapered leading edges on the outer wing, while David's doesn't. Is that significant?

Night mate.
