Thanks HD. It was a little unclear from what I found as to whether this was a genuine proposal by BAe or just advertising. If the former did it have a designation?

Lets see how this one does:

skytrains' image did indeed have a name and was a genuine proposal.

As the illustration shows, its' name was Replica.

(LM is ex-BAe)

Thanks LM...just seemed a strange name...not quite as dynamic as "Hawk" or "Harrier". Nice to see I wasn't the only one on SC who worked for BAe (albeit many years ago).

Got it in one John. . A kit plane dating from 1979, made to look like an old biplane fighter.



Over to you.

Thanks Skytrain

unfortunately I'm at work at the moment and then heading off for a lovely drive round the M25 from Watford to Egham then back to Stevenage. So I'm afraid I'll have to declare open house...

Looks a bit like a Minimoa - remember the non-flying flying scale one from Kiel Kraft ??If correct OH.

Diesel addict...long time no hear. The tail doesn't look right for a Minimoa from pics I've seen, but there may well have been some variations. Kiel Kraft...that takes me back a few (tens of) years!

LM, you have clearly been spending too much time around Noyade....if this is an easy one then I'm not looking forward to a tough one. In fairness not my area at all so for all I know it is easy! I'll leave this one to those who know. Perhaps Diesel addict has nailed it?

Good evening/morning gentlemen.

Cryptic clues:

In order to win this challenge one must especially look at perhaps its' land of origin.

That's the one, and one of it's names. Like Bizz-Hunter and Hawker Hunter Jet Transport.

Your controls.
