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?

Sorry for the late response, Ken, but I've had to deal with an incident here this morning!!!!

European? well, its is regarded by some as Europe I guess!

edit: yes, a twin, mate

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.

Well, how embarrassing is that?! I was looking at British, but concentrated on Miles aircraft.

Cheers.
