I thought a Cub would come up again sometime! But not a Cub, eh?

It looks a bit too hunchbacked to be a Cub! Also the engine isn't right

Good afternoon to both of you.

That's no Piper for sure, but something tells me it's the right part of the world.

You're right of course, its not a Piper, but don't go looking through Aerofiles, as its the wrong part of the world!

Not long enough Ken. Not long enough.

I was thinking Hindustan...you know Ken, the people who made the Marut?!

You stole MY Marut Ken!

Morning Graeme

Guilty as charged mate, although you are being a little possesive over it - there are plenty more Marut's I'm sure - see, look, 3 more have come along - you don't have to worry



But back to the challenge - not a HAL product.

And for the rest of you, there is no connection between the HAL Marut and the current challenge!

Final clue for the night shift:

I'm sure this is the first aircraft from this country to appear on SC.

Signing off now,

Good afternoon skytrain,

With that last clue, I couldnt resist a quick look before going home, it's been a very hectic week here with almost no time to play.

It's the Safat-01 built in the Sudan last year.

It'll have to be an Open House please as I'm off now. The good news is that I'll be getting my home connection in a couple of weeks time.

Not too much snow where you are I hope, plenty on the high ground around here

Hi Sinco

Well done , yes its the SAFAT 01 from Sudan - not exactly well known for its contributions to the general aviation world!



Very little snow here - had a light dusting but most of that is gone. Still very cold (+1C) so all the lanes round here are pretty icy. Hope all ok there?

Glad to see you'll soon be up and running in you're own right.

Sinco has declared Open House.
