Thanks Graeme. What an ugly beast. When you posted the second photograph my thoughts were we were looking at the underside of the port wing of the Grumman Goose as the prop and pitot head seemed to match but could not convince myself. Then considered it to be a modified Widgeon but was not sure.

Here is the next one:-

Can I offer this one then, just to let everyone know I'm still here;

I just noticed after posting, the guy looking out looks just like me! How bizarre. (not a cryptic clue, just something I noticed)

Evening Mel,

Is it the Me 109V-43 ? (The third pre-production G series modified to test the butterfly tail)

If so then Open House please as I'm off soon!
