I thought it looked RV,but only got it through the clues given,and its been a while since I have seen anything re JJ(just remembered I used to fly a PA44 reg VH-JON) so hence the dislexyia! Have to admit that I have absolutly no idea on how to post or even find a photo to put up,however I think that this is one of the best threads getting around and I am stoked that I finally had some idea re one of the pits! Happy to hand back to the experts.

No problem yowie.
It is Philthy's shout really but as he is in the land of nod I am sure he would invite whoever has a challenge to post to go ahead.

Here's Jon and VH-NOJ:
Jon has flown in this cockpit solo around the world not once, but three times, including flights over both poles. He holds 48 world records and the aircraft has an endurance of 30+ hours. Incredible!
I am proud to say that VH-NOJ also carries the Philthy name on its port rudder

When I sober up... (it's 1am+ here in Blighty!) . Is that an Aresti sequence taped to the panel?
ASI in km/hr, French placards and guarded switches on the stick - ex-French Airforce?

Intersting challenge. Cockpit marking in French, would appear from the fuel guage to have two tanks. Rear view mirror seems to indicate seats behind the pilot and on the right is a rheostat for cabin lights. With all the French marking I do not think it is a design other than French.

Mel has it: it's the Pilatus P3 HB-RCQ.
