Nope, not a Spitfire......!
I didn't think so...

OK...is it British? I was thinking of the Fairey P.4/34 or that Belgium thingy, the SABCA(?)47.

By the way, good morning to you Ken and David!

Evening Graeme..no, not the Fairey or the Belgian thingy...in fact its German.

LM has it, its the Silence Twister, a very Spitfire like aircraft, from certain angles:



Over to you David

I do, but they are now getting too easy since people around here are getting more devious!

Here we go then:

Thanks for that Graeme....I think!

Not getting very far with this...looks similar to an Aero Boreo 115 with spats, save for the prop and the fact its homebuilt.

Have some work to attend to so will come back to it later.

Hi LM,

Just a quick coffee-break shot in the dark, is it a Comp Air 6 ?

Open House please in the unlikely event of it being correct.

Work finished and have come back to this one, but sadly no inspiration. Reminds me of a beefed up Wittman Tailwind!

Is this a comparitively recent hombuild (my newest book is 2007!)...or perhaps from somewhere obscure, like Russia maybe?

Good morning Ken.

Fairly recent indeed, but not from Russia. Go East.....
