Do you all know what I am going to do?

I'm putting one up for RegDep, since he's a good mate, and PM'ing the answer in two minutes.

All yours RegDep.

Sorry guys, but my internet has been down since yesterday evening. This look like an American machine....from the 1930's?

Morning mate.

There's no way I can play with this one.

I'm sure RegDep will pitch up soon.

Morning...

No probs...unfortunately I'll have to drop off shortly as catching up with my mornings work...got an aircraft lease agreement to go through!

That tails does look very Lockheed'ish....but I'm starting to wonder if its something a bit newer....!

I used to borrow aeroplanes as well - from Her Majesty!

It gets interesting when you leave one smoking in a field........

Reporting in.
Lockheed'ish
Just got off work and there's enough money in the internet meter to make one post.

Similar thoughts Ken based on the tail but when I looked at Lockheed this morning they all had retractable undercarriages. And they still didn't fit the profile.

Next thought was Russian, concentrating on Yak AIR designs...no luck.

End of report.

Wooops. Good morning. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Not Russian - American. Not Lockheed, though....

Thanks LM.

Keeps you out of the bar!

No reason to be sorry. Yes, it has a connection to Emsco B-7.

It is it.

Photos in the Aerofiles.

It's all yours Skytrain.
