Just to clarify, with the canary I meant the yellow Warwick W-4 Hot Canary racer; obviously a case of adding two and two and getting 5...

Spitfire, I have no idea what the aircraft is, but the altimeter needs adjusting - it's reading 2800'!!

Can't have used QFE on the last landing!

Field elevation of this aircraft's home base is 2791 ft.

And from this same airfield, a manned aircraft has flown to over 360,000 ft!!

Mojave, yes.

When I mentioned earlier that it was a Bird, that was quite a large hint...

...and it's a design that might be described as having identical form on opposite sides of a central axis.

Having failed to pick up the name hint, I used the airport info to find the Symmetry.

Can someone from the night shift go next, please?

I'd say the Ford has a manual transmission by the looks of the gearshift lever.

I believe it to be the FVM/CVM Tummiliten (Tummelisa). If so it was previously put up as a challenge by cringe on the 8th Dec 2005.

Spitfire
No problem after all the list is now some 230+ types long. I dont think this one has been up before, not that it will take long before the answer is forth coming.
