My first thought was the Po2 - but a three-cylinder radial ???

So - How about the Bristol trainer with the Lucifer engine.......

I think Bristol's own flying school used them.

It is indeed the Mig 110. The project was started in 1995, but as far as I can gather the aircraft has never flown.

Looks awfully like a Supermarine Spiteful to me. I'f I'm right it's open house because, as usual, I have nothing to bring to the party!

Quick self correction: it's the Spiteful's seagoing sister, the Seafang

Next Challenge

At Post#1240 LowNSlow stated it was open house if he was correct and at Post#1201 gave the correct answer. Well here is something a little different. This aircraft unfortunately was stuck on the drawing board. Any idea of the Design Company and type number?
