Piper based, though? It reminders me of a Seneca but the fin/rudder are not right. RR

And that's cheap around these parts!! Normally its up at 145.9plus!!

Blimey...the most I have paid is 138.9....M4 services near Port Talbot is 137.9

Not a Chieftain, nor a Seneca....but it is a Piper

Edit: have just corrected error on port u/c leg on silhouette.

It does indeed mate.

However, with no seconder we'll have to wait I fear.

I have just solved sabredogs' challenge on "Challenge" I think, and asked him to get over here but he hasn't.

Just to confirm it is the unsuccessful PA-40 Arapaho, which was to be the replacement for the Twin Comanche. Interesting that some Twin Com's have been modded with the Arapaho style extended fuselage spine.



Good call David. LM has control
