I've already said it's European.

Wanna hint?

Get a one-way ticket out of Czechoslovakia guys.

I've just been looking at the Staudacher S-300D - that's an excellent effort sk.

The CAP 232 is indeed French, but it ain't that one.

To where, David? Is this one of your cryptic clues and nothing to do with Czechoslovakia?

"Get a one-way ticket" - a single? Means nothing.

It means leave with no intention of coming back.

Just trying to tell you that it's not Czechoslovakian, despite the one next to it.

Look guys, I have to go home and will check in again shortly.

In the meantime, try France.

...'cause I'm not the sort of person who leaves things up for a long time....

Sadly not sk.

Yes Reg, you are looking at a dedicated French aerobatic aeroplane.

I'm not sure what clue to give next.................

The aeroplane was photographed at South Cerney, UK, where I did my basic officer training btw, in 1987.

Just thought of a good clue......
