Evening Graeme - neither. Perhaps my reply to Trevor was a bit misleading - the aircraft IS from China or Korea. The similarity to the SOCATA range is not coincidental

Good morning Ken,

No, it isn't is it ! Inscrutable reverse engineering !!

The Chinese version is the Shijiazhuang LE-500 Little Eagle ??
