Talking of a miss-identified Cessna, a story from the early days of Rans aircraft in the UK.
Rans S6 on final to land at Southampton when a BA turbo prop airliner calls joining the circuit:
Tower: “Speedbird 123, you are No. 2 to land behind a Rans S6 on short Final”
Speedbird 123: “And what pray is a Rans S6?”
Tower: “It’s a sort of see-through Cessna, Sir”.
