The Funk above has tapered wing-tips, while David's doesn't. Is that significant?
Do a search for OO-G74....straight wings and no main gear spats

Good morning/evening.

After all the previous discussion I am happy to announce that it is indeed the B&F Fk14 Polaris, so nicely done skytrain.

However, an Open House has been called, so let's hope that Noyade will be home from work soon and post something.

Back to you David

So are you mate - that's three already this morning.

New balls please.......



edit: standby please - there's a small error on that silhouette, not that it will make any difference.

edit 2 : error removed
