Evening LM,

Thanks for the support, I just did a quick Goggle on HA-NBE and didn't get anywhere as my computers doing is virus scan/backups at the moment so it's pretty glacial.

Sorry mate, but it'll have to an OH if it is the MSrE M-25 Nebuló, as I have go now and haven't got the info together for my next (although I have found it now)!!

Been a better day today innit

Thanks skytrain; Good Challenge, that picture confirms I was looking at the M-24 !!

Open House please as I should have been long gone!!

Good Morning Skytrain10, you're on the right track, it is American and that is a Curtiss OX-5 under the 'hood'.

Back in 30 minutes!

Why have I got that sinking feeling....?

This looks like a fairly recent piece of kit judging by the wingtips.

not that recent designed in 1957. I 'silhouetted' it in a hurry, would you rather have the picture up instead? would it help?

Nice of you, but let's stick to "silhouette challenge".

I've got it in Photoshop and am playing with it......

Just one thing - can you confirm it's a two-seater being flown solo?
