Looked leisurely at garlicy profiles (somehow the tail told me to) but to no avail. The role is a bit obscure. Could be a racer, couldn't it?

Morning Reg.

I didn't say it was a VB10 - that looks totally different.

Are we talking ourselves into a racer?

It could be a fighter design.

No, you didn't. I just followed up my engines-in-tandem conjecture

I don't get the garlic-sausage bit. He's trying to say it's not France. What's left? Chorizo in Spain, stuff in Italy, Salami in Hungary .

Nor do I. Take out the garlic bit and you might have a bratwurst!
