British design
The front view looks a little "Glosterish?" Four cannons in the nose? Heavy long-range fighter escort?

Side-tracking banter

Thinking about the DC-6/7 on WC. I remember as a kid seeing a movie (The Crowded Sky?) with Efrim Zibboulus Jr (Spelling?! ) pranging into the nose of a DC-6 or 7? I think he was in a jet fighter?

What was the jet?
you're favourites
I have a favourite?

Well Ken, as a kid I was very partial to Luftwaffe types.

Do you have a couch? I had a troubled youth. It all started when...

Well, I did say one of your favourites and you do post quite a lot from there, comprendere?

What was the jet?
Can't stop to delve right now as I've gotta go offline for fifteen minutes while I swap houses, but I think it was something like a Couger or a Shooting Star!

Back soon

If I had to say I would have gone for Japan, but that's been ruled out. France? Doesn't look French though

Houses swapped, hissing down here and somewhat windy, worse to come tomorrow

I wish I had a quid for evey Italian aircraft you'd posted Graeme, (which is why I finished off the statement with an Italian word)!!

Campini fighter....trying to find a designation
That's the one Ken, I'll not ask for a designation as I'm not sure there is one!!

skytrain has control
