Decided to come back for a last look...is it the FVA-2 Blaue Maus?

Or if not, the FVA-1 Schwarze-Teufel?

Edit to say....looking closer I would say the FVA-1?

Ditto, to see if there were any answers !

It is indeed the FVA-2 Blaue Maus Well, it was a development of the FV-1, they are very similar (and I think some of the photos may be mis-labelled)!!

Natty construction involved:


Very interesting article on it's designer, quite an extraordinary career Wolfgang Klemperer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks Trevor, must admit wasn't too sure. I found a picture of the FVA-1 from a similar, but not identical, angle which looked about right. But as you say they are very similar.

Am just about to hit the hay so will have to be Open House. If no one has stepped in overnight I'll have one ready for the morning.

Good night.

Now now David.

Tail threw me but got there in the end...



Am I likely to see Karlark tonight? Probably not.

Second opinion anyone? If confirmed by someone else, you guys can then move on as I'll make it open house...?

If correct, open house.

Although it does seem like the search engines are getting worse (the advanced search facility seems to have vanished from my favourite)!!
Shame, Trevor!
