Keep guessing - if no luck soon I'll give you some hints, but it is quite tricky. Lomcevak might get it as he may have flown the beast in question...

Beags,
Yes A6-8. As Homes might say, "Your reasoning was excellent, Watson, but flawed." :P
Lovely aeroplane, lovely restoration under the kindly hands of Mothcair in Murwillumbah, NSW. It'll be a stunner to see in the air.
Treadders - is it a Percival?

Nah - OK Hint. It's a reproduction (but not a replica )...
JDK, I need to PM you about a certain Warlike Planet... Will do so when I've slept off my convivial intake. Hic!

Hmmm.
I'm wracking the old brainbox.
It's not foren, cos there's an English plackard. Probably one engine, not military, 1930s - maybe 20s.. Def piston engined, retractable undercarriage, not a Percival.
Oh, and it's 10 past 1 am, cos it's dark outside...
Not many British aircraft in the thirties with a low or mid wing with wheels that go up n' dahn.
It's not the US built DH-88 Comet replica is it? Looks different to the 'real' G-ACSS if 'tis.
Sure, drop me a PM Treadders.
Not a Caudron repro? (But the english plackard...)
Windcreen\'s wrong for a Comet.
Miles?

OK hints:
It's American and has a radial engine.
Sorry been out all day and about to hurtle off again.

Grumman F3F in its two-seat G32A version, perchance?
http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/images/f3fsb_16.jpg shows a similar cockpit view.
See http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/airshow01/legends/f3f.htm for an external view of the F3F2 single seater or http://www.plane-crazy.net/links/g32.htm for both types together.

Well done BEagle, you have control!
Chino Warbird's N100TF when it and one of the single-seaters was in the UK for Flying Legends show several years ago. Lovely little aeroplanes!
Cheers
Treadders

I did, and a reflection out of the windscreen as well - then noticed another one. I should credit the pic to Barry McKee!

"Ok an easy one for you all"
Has anybody else ever noticed that when somebody says that you know the impossible is inbound.
Dont know the type, but I estimate the twentieth century
