You are correct evansb!
If I were to win the lottery this would be my choice of personal transport back home.

treadigraph is correct. Well done. The obscure, well-designed Seabird Seeker was designed in Australia in 1989. A joint production venture with Jordan was entered in 2002. A few Seekers were sold to Iraq.

Thanks chaps, though I think I got one once before Mr G! But it's so long ago that I've forgotten...

Have to admit that while I knew what the aeroplane I was thinking about looked like and its origins, I had absolutely no idea what it was called... But Google is magic!

Can someone else take command please?

treadigraph's record

Mr_Grubby you are being a little unkind on our treadigraph, he has actually scored a total of 10 wins,including this one,since you started this wonderful thread. His previous win was on the 17 Dec 2006 when he identified one of evanbs's challenge the Siai Machetti SM109.

No worries Mr G, to be honest I am amazed I've got as many as 10 (are you sure Mel?) - I think other people have nudged me in the right direction from time to time... Tis a great thread!

By the way, whither Ms Cringe?

By the way, whither Ms Cringe?
She has not posted on this thread since 13 Feb 2007, however I see she posted on Jet blast on the 13 May 2007. So I am sure she is well, cringe's score is still one of the highest scores on this thread. Cringe, if you are reading this, please come back we all miss your skill and challenges.
I can confirm your score of 10 is correct.

PZL P.11a, the type that scored the first allied victory over the Nazi Luftwaffe, on September 1,1939, by the Polish Air Force shooting down a Stuka.

Captured or interned foreign aircraft (also from Péter Mujzer). It is a pity Lars edited the photograph though.
