Well I think it's probably the first one of this type?

for me it is impossible to say if it is the very first, but it is one of the early versions definately, not a production unit.

I'll just call it a Heinkel He 112.

quite correct. To me it appears to be V1 based on the radiator cowling, it is definately somewhere between V1 and V8 (excluding V7) as it is missing the bubble canopy and it has earlier tail. It might not be the V5 as those were Imperial Japanese Army evaluation units with red tails and this appears to have a swastika on the tail.

All yours Noyade.

Thanks Beamr - nice schematics above.

Don't think this will last long................... PS remember the 24 hour rule on confirming the winner

[Planemike]

Piel Emeraude or one of its derivatives....??

[Asturias56]

Getting close

[Pypard]

So I'd say it's He.112V1.

Treadigraph is correct - the G-B Linnet - they seem to have been quite visible around the UK circuit but not sure if there are any left

[Planemike]

I recall seeing PNS over my house many years ago...

Open house...

[Pypard]

Try this then: probably a quick one but a lovely-looking type anyway.

[Asturias56]

Thanks Planemike - next time I'm at the 'bushe i'll look closely -
