Thanks Mate! I had the Airfix model many years ago and picked it from the u/c...

Now, where do I find the latest list so I don't embarrass myself?

Go to AH & N main page.

What cockpit etc. list.

Then What Silhouette.

Or you can tell me what you're going to post and I'll check it for you.

Stand by - I'll give myself 15 minutes and if I can't find anything new it will be open house.

Don't be too sure of that.

I note it's a scan, so can you confirm it's on the web please.

Confirmed. A quick search on the name threw up 9000 results.

Feel free to ask questions

Closer to the former. It had some unusual features, including a Martin-Baker ejector seat

Seriously. I have the book in front of me. It was derived from a light transport that is already on Mel's list, but it's a research a/c..

Correct.

Dornier Do 29 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From my trusty Observer's Book of Aircraft, 1960 edition. As has been observed earlier in this thread, a very good year.

You have control.
