Hi Martin...European, yes, but not what I would classify as north (ie not Scandinavia).

Good afternoon Gents

I'll stick with the "ish" and try Turk! I think it's the THK-5A TYRKEN air-ambulance ??

It's been hell on wheels here for the last few days and I'm off into a meeting in a few minutes, so Open House please if correct. I'll try and get back later if I can, Great Card David

THK-5A TYRKEN
Good thought Trevor, but not the THK-5A. You probably missed my last edit!
