I was thinking more on the lines of Jaguar souvenirs for the study...avionics...nose-wheel...any panels...control surfaces...etc

Nothing left of it mate. Got the most imporatnt bit, the actual handle.

I'll send a photo of it soon.

Looks like a Halifax.

Not quite so easy as it looks, so I'll say sleep well.

If someone gets it without any doubt, are we authorised to continue?

Yep - I had it for another forum. Apologies.

All my others are real.

Get something up and we'll play to the sensible control rules.

So we have.!

Trouble is that I have it stored by it's correct name of the Emsco B-8, which of course isn't on the list.

Post withdrawn.

Since I'm having a bad day I'll call OPEN HOUSE.

If there is nothing up within an hour I'll re-post.

I don't think so Reg.

Unable to find the answer, but an intelligent guess based on its' predecessor tells me it was a T-tail.

Did not fly, but the aeroplane on which it was based most certainly did.
