Nicely done mate.

On reflection perhaps the clue was too easy.

All yours.

Gents
I'll be offline shortly and probably won't be able to check again until late tonight or failing that tomorrow morning.
First clue to help you along - this is not a European aircraft.

Special I think there is hidden a CA-14.
Yep. Somewhere amongst the stars...(side profile, tail to the right)
The 5000 mark Graeme.
Congrats!

Here we go:
Japanese mate?
I was watching the comedy movie 'Land of the Lost' and there was this line from Wil Ferrell: "I give up,...and it feels good!"

Evening chaps.
No progress I see so perhaps a 2nd clue....its not from the US so don't bother looking in Aerofiles.
Incidentally I found this one whilst looking for LM's earlier biplane challenge.
Closing down now for the night.

Hi Graeme. Not Japanese mate.
Wrong continent!
With that thought I am going to hit the hay.
Good night.

Good evening every one.

My guess would have been the Gloster Sparrowhawk but it's english and have been used by japanese navy... Maybe there's a chinese copy of this one ?

Morning chaps

I cant give you any details on the engine LM (because I cant find them!), but I would be surprised if it were a Mercedes.

Are you any good at anagrams?

Part of the answer to the challenge is in my previous post - as an anagram!
