re-reading the posts, I can see that there is some ambiguity; in HD's first post, he mentiones that the foreground plane looks Italian and then asks if the "target" is a Reggiani (meaning the answer we are loooking for), but a tired Graeme, may have interpreted this as the foreground plane as it had just been mentioned and it does look like it's being attacked, so he answered HD's question and logged out leaving the Challenge running.
Yes, maybe it could be a Vultee P-66, does that have L/E Slats, or is that not what you read into the profile?
HD, I think that you've just agreed with me but our posts crossed, but I'll have to disagree with you, you're not a retard!!
And now I'll have to leave you guys to it; as an elderly neighbour has just called to say her drains are blocked, so I'm off for an afternoon of "rodding the dunny", lucky me
