Not from Pilatus or Praga. There is no connection with Yak that I am aware of.

I toyed with -9, then -7... etc.... I remembered the Lazarov we had a while back. This has the same (or simiar) tail unit.

Give me a moment to sort a post......

Welcome to both of you... Sorry but its not a P-61, and neither is it a Fokker-built aircraft. RR

To all the new folk here and the long-time "salts of the earth", may I refer you all back to my post 2127 on page 107.

Thankee kindly RR. It seems that today as today I said Praga followed by a number I would get one right.

Here is the next one.

Looks French. Possibly the Bernard 260 but my sources show it with an open cockpit?

Noyade, well done on two counts.

1) It is the Bernard 260.
2) It was an open cockpit. This was my error. In my defence I have two three view drawings of this aircraft and both show a closed cockpit. The only photograph that I have is very small, old and unclear. However, I checked on the internet and found two more photographs and both show an open cockpit.

I promise to pay more attention to detail in the future

You have control.
