Hi skytrain,

You just posted as I added that above, I thought that maybe he was the designer, so I went looking for a recent manufacturer!

Yes please Open House, thank you

Good morning everyone.

The Squadron is 31 Ton.

The challenge aeroplane was American, but not a Ryan.

Morning LM,

Just got in, so having a quick look before work.

Is it the NA-16 Primary Trainer, originally made North American at the General Aviation plant before various take-overs ??

Hmm, I have doubts on this, the fairingd behind the seats look wrong, will have another go at coffee break!!

It isn't I'm afraid TC.

I will be out for a short while renewing my anti-virus kit.

Catch you during your coffee break.
