Good medicine though; I didn't want to mention Turkey this close to Christmas

Not the MKEK though! Shouldn't take long now and I'll be able to take supper steadily and not have to gobble it, sorry another superflous turkey hint!!

Sorry Reg, My email went down again just as I posted and realised that MKEK MODEL 7 was an alternative name for the THK-2

RegDep has Control

I couldn't resist it really with that registration!

What?

THK-2 then.

Designed by Polish engineers who had come to Turkey to help establish the Türk Hava Kurumu factory, the first prototype flew in 1944 and the second flew the following year. This led to production in series, but only four further examples were built before the project was abandoned. When THK was taken over by MKEK, this was one of the designs selected for further work. However, although the designation MKEK-2 was allocated, nothing further came of this. The THK-2s were used by the Turkish Air Force in their intended role until the mid 1950s.

Yep.....and when he sent it to me as a very low-res image I found another by goggling the registration.

RD couldn't quite believe it!
