LM has control
Good grief!!

Welcome back Jake.

This one should not last too long, which is just as well because I have had a bad day with university delinquents and am knackered.

At the risk of giving the answer away, I was thinking that French 1920s (?) Torpedo bomber. However, the name escapes me..

I was thinking of the Levasseur PL.10 - but it's not that. However it could be the PL.7?

Edit, if correct will have to be Open House

Ill have a stab. Eastern European? Maybe American as it is very Lancair-ish. Slovaks are making the Pepistrel Panthera. Its similar.

Good thought, yes a single

It is American trucky, but no connection with Lancair that I can see..
