Well I think its safe to say that it is a Pe-2/3 inspired machine... but I sense a red herring! RR

Ridge Runner,

You must have lost your sense of smell - what red herring?

Close enough buddy - it's the Petlyakov PE-2L prototype.

Well done - it's all yours.

ooo.. er...... I imagined a cunning plan there somewhere. I've been searching Pe- and Mya- products and came up with all kinds of possibilities (or not!).

Back soon... RR

Looks very much like the Hordon-Richmond Autoplane, save that it appears to have another set of windows!

Thanks RR....only picture I have, courtesy of Putnam's is this:



You'll see what I mean about the windows...on the silhouette theres what appears to be another double window...unless it was just on the one side?

My offering to follow shortly....

Actually, no, but you are extremely close! I don't think you should need any more clues!

He has indeed LM...its the Ariete, a development of the Sagittario, with an extra booster engine (hence fatter fuselage).

Back to you RR.....
