No - its derogatory, though that has been inverted more recently.

Yes, I believe it was a disciplinary offence in either BA or Bae to refer to the ATP as a Skoda - maybe that's apocryphal. So what am I ?.

Sorry that's not me either. Little more to give away except I'm sometimes hyphenated and I'm a lightweight fighter. - Must be my clues.

The MAQWNP stall warning system has now been activated. If no correct solution by12.00 Z. The answer will apppear and any non-incapacitated crew member may take control.

One of those beautiful Skoda-Kauba designs, perhaps? SK 257 was a real looker.

Yes. - I didn't think it was that difficult or esoteric and they were a an interesting series of designs. The 257 I am.

Best looking Skoda ever? The parasol-wing fighter (D.1 was it, derived from a Dewoitine?) was also a handsome machine.

Quite unprepared for another try, but here goes:

I was double-double-barelled, and sawn-off, in a manner of speaking.

Short Sperrin?

Sawn-off as in 'short'; 4 x RR Avon engines with each pair in an 'over and under' double-barrelled shotgun layout on each wing.

Here's a piccie: http://avia.russian.ee/air/england/short_sperrin.html
