Mmm, well at least there is a bit more to see in this picture than most! I'm assuming a twin Martin, which leaves the choice a little limited in terms of amateur build machines. European?

So are we talking Russia or perhaps a former USSR state then?

Time is running out and i probably won't be on at the weekend as the interweb isn't up and running yet

Last clues: go north of Germany and south of Sweden! Built by a farmer!

Usual rules apply - two confirmed IDs and you move on!!!!

Have a good one!!!!

G'day Brian.
belly of a Spitfire.
Well, how embarrassing is that?! I was looking at British, but concentrated on Miles aircraft.

Cheers.
