I suppose, Bri, you may have been misled by 'the right number of wings'. And I'm 99% sure, although I haven't looked, that there aren't 25 Mignet Fleas on the G-INFO register.

There are, however 25 FREDs, including this one

so I guess VX275 has control

I feel I have to call foul on this.

How can the right number of wings in relation to a biplane (Currie Wot) suddenly become a parasol monoplane?

Mea culpa

I took so many pics at Sywell last weekend I mixed up my aircraft and panels, and only realised my error after posting the pic of G-ORAS.

The panel was indeed FRED, and profuse apologies for misleading the experts.

Hangs head in shame.

I hope VX can do better...........

Sorry guys I've never managed the trick of posting photos here so OPEN HOUSE.

PM me if you feel you could help as I do have a few cockpits to offer.

Is there a next challenge?

Since VX appears to have gone into hiding, does that make it open house?

Given that nearly a week has gone by, I would say YES.

well Sycamore, the 'lighter than air' clue might be in the right direction, judging from this picture :



but with all these clues, the winning answer must be pretty specific

Nope
Not an AT-10, look closer at the EFIS-EICAS, that will tell you why it can't be the AT-10
