Talking

When I referred to 100 big smacks I meant 100K. Everyone knows that £100 buys you bog all in aviation (OK, maybe a couple of C150s with full tanks, but apart from that, nowt)

As for photo: maybe one on the YakUK site?

Description: it's a tailwheel aircraft, fully retractable, solid looking but well proportioned, big round engine, shortish glasshouse, wings with rounded ends. Looks every inch a fighter (being, I believed, a de-tuned version of a late WW2 single seater adapted for training use). Looks and sounds great when run and breaking and generally goes like the clappers. If I were to get a smallish lottery win and couldn't quite stretch to the Mk IX Spittie, I'd go for one of these over a Harvard any day.
