Diesel Addict, Atlas Kudu is not the name we are looking for ??
S'land, Not the Jaribu J340 either.
dazdaz, I think I know the Lockheed you are thinking of, but it's not that one ?
Two people have PM'd me with correct answers !! One says its realy noisey !

No, not the 'Kudu', although I now think it is the Aer Macchi er - AM-3 ??
Possibly a contender for the same job as the aforementioned Siai-Marchetti Bird-Dog clone.
Is there also a South African production link ??
If correct - open house.

Diesel Addict, Yes you are correct, I knew how close you were with your previous post, and the link to Italy and South Africa, I'm pleased you got it ! Keith.

Chiglet's challenge.
I think that the German cross is a bit misleading. It looks like the French Bloch MB 157 designed and built in France, but captured and tested by the Germans after the country was occupied by the Germans.

Before we move on, is the A10 the aircraft associated with the term "Tank Buster" or is it the P51, or, is it just a general expression given to any a/c that can take on a tank?

AFAIK, the P51 was never a "Tank Buster" [6 50cal mgs not really good enough] The Hurricane Mk IV [I think]with 2 40mm cannons, or the Junkers Ju87G with the same armament, on the other hand most certainly were tank busters.

As Chiglet has not made any comment, and as Norwich posted an identical picture I am assuming that I gave the right answer.
Here is the next challenge. I expect that it will not last long.
P.S. Strange to think of the Hurricane as a 'Tank Buster'.
