1pCmwM - and perhaps with "pusher" added?
Close, but it won't find it....it's an open cockpit

At David's suggestion I am reposting the challenge:

Thanks for the repost mate - it worked.

One further question your Honour - high wing or low?

I suspect the latter, looking under the fuselage.

That's floored me.

Mid-wing or none?

A head-banging job.

Was/is it Lycoming powered?

............

Thanks David; and also for the Ohio piccie, embarrassingly scary by the look of it ... (the backlog of emails are just trickling in now from a backup server)!!

Edit:

Off Home now, back in about an hour! Not FLW I hope, but in the event that my light isn't back on by then and Ken has given me the OK, then carry on without me, despite Post #8323!! However, I am confidant

Thanks mate. I was thinking a Roland of some description, but I'm having trouble with the fin shape? Is this what's going on at the back?...

Not too far off mate, but I think the rudder may have been deflected in the silhouette image!

Not a Roland though and not the usual fare from this manufacturer!
