Brian, its certainly the NAL Hansa, so I'm happy to support your guess. Martin is probably offline now for the evening but I'm sure he will be happy for us to continue, so on that basis, control is with you.

Piper Navajo? The port engine on your silhouette seems to be riding off in a different direction Brian? But I guess...that's Injuns/engines for ya.

It's the only one I know where the rear window is triangular.

The silhouette, for my liking, makes the nose look too rounded, even for the earliest models.

However, I feel that Noyade has scored and should take the thread since evansb won't be around now for several hours.

May I have a seconder gentlemen.
