Oi Graeme, I posted that before your colour pic!

Is it a Bell?

Looks like a pylon racer.

Tis a racer, according to wiki. Haven't actually looked at Aerofiles yet.

I was about to say where's Sinco? ( not that I'm not enjoying your company!) But it's Saturday so he's home and internetless?

Actually it's nearly Sunday.

Getting very hard to type.

You're an Aussie, that's why.

So, now that I don't see a jet, is that a V8 or V12?

Oh no you don't! I'm not answering any engine questions! I know you...and your engine search engines! I give you some cylinders and BINGO a name pops out. Not going there. There were enough cylinders to make this plane fly and that's all you need to know!

Yep. Pushed forward one hour about three weeks ago.

Before you go horizontal, I'll stab at a Curtiss, probably without much luck.
