..she....she?

It's an inaminate object you sexist!
No and no.

She changes direction without apparent reason and flies away from me, so MUST be a she.

And, please, give me a better clue than that.

Edit to say Ilyushins carry their pitot tube in the right wing, so your challenge is British or Japanese

Good evening gentlemen,

I just saw LM's challenge go up before I had to go out, just returned and find it still here!

Is it a Nakajima Ki-87 ??

Sinco you old......

Just leisurely wondering on Airwar which end to start looking - at the end or at the beginning. Started at end, and got confused three entries before this and went to make tea.

No competition around makes people lax. That's how capitalism beats other systems.........

Sorry about that Reg; and not so much of the old.... if you don't mind!!! LM and I can still give you six years matey

There seems to have been a lot of chatting going on; but that's the problem with not many playing, chat tends to come before serious searching, what's more, all that chat didn't seem to extract any good clues!!

Airwar, Hmm; don't you just wish that they showed a Year in the catalogue? This site seems to have got a bit flakey lately translation-wise and often doesn't work at all for me. Improves my almost non-existant Russian though I also find that it often switches categories sometimes, very cofusing if you don't notice, so I tend to use the "Back" button on the browser instead!

That's very true mate; however, let's hope for all concerned, that it's a very very long and easy one

I'm worried that the actual shape of the tailplane is a little indistinct, so here's something to clarify it!

No doubt trying to catch a thermal from that big lump of hot rock, but not a Göppingen!

Sorry Reg, neither of those; although I can see where you're coming from regarding the tail shape, but the wings are wrong!

In any case, we've had the Minimoa before.

It was posted by Richard and I recognised it.

Bardon Monsieur,

Edit: Picture withdrawn, it was a Minimoa. But the maybe stays.
