Well done sabredog. My rotation of the picture didn't fool you for a minute.

It's this particular FG-1D Corsair, ZK-COR (ex G-BXUL) currently at Tauranga for this weekend's airshow:

Oh FFS! Way too careless of me, apologies for that, hope you are more efficient/ less stoopid than me , it is indeed the snappily named EKW C-3605 .
