Thought so RR. Fulfilled the engine clue, however.

Was the warm country warm enough?

I'm closing down in a minute or two, so I'm going to give this one to Reg. It is the Caproni Vizzola F.6Z (with 24-cyl Zeta engine)

Reg has CONTROL

Stand-by for the next one

Good afternoon Bri
Is it the VFW-614 ?
Yes it is
Tried to find a photo that hid the engines from view!. Used to see them regularly at Gatwick airport in the late 70's and early 80's. I believe just the one left flying now.



Your control evansb
