Well, there's no doubt there. That has to be the one.

If RR decides I was right, it'll have to be Open House.

Well, if RR gives this to me and confirms tonight then I think an OH would be the best choice (for the sake of other timezones), but I'll be online at about 8.00 am GMT ready to post another should RR log in early in the morning.
Until then, goodnight everybody.
HP

Edit: back online

Not sure who to allocate it to! I think HP got it. Anyway, OH has been declared!

Well, since it wasn't from WWII then I think that the "allies" definition can't be applied...

Not the right letter, I'm afraid...

Edit: short lunch break
Edit: back from short lunch break

Yeah, that's the one!

Prototype of transport glider LD 605 Haban was under construction in Czechoslovakia but abandoned in the summer 1951 with the availability of Soviet gliders.
All yours, Ton.
