Well here's a clue anyway - EKRANOPLAN. ;)

edit: I have a very early start tomorrow so I'm logging off - the usual rules apply.

Hopefully over to Canada and Australia.................

Morning Martin.

The image is on the web, and there is a video of it on u-tube.

Please standby and I'll post the original photo plus another one - is it's still a problem I'll reveal it this morning.

First pic:

It's called Ektranoplan ***********24

Ridge Runner 30th May 2012 10:26

ah ha .. Burevestnik-24!

I really can't claim that, David! So OPEN HOUSE!

Lightning Mate 30th May 2012 11:01

A winner. :ok::ok:

There is no rule which says a win on clues means an OH mate.

Ridge Runner 30th May 2012 11:27

Was this originally a glider and subsequently motorised?

Home, but heading to bed.

(Psst...Check out Koolhoven David. :ok::) Koolhoven Aeroplanes Foundation)

Oh bugger, one of those pretend aeroplanes! :(

Afternoon....an LSA I guess David and quite possibly a brand new design? Save for the tail and nose gear it's not unlike the Jabiru J400 range. I doubt there is a connection though, so on the process of elimination, would this be a European design?

Lightning Mate 30th May 2012 16:03

Hello stranger. :)

It is indeed European and I think 1995, but I'll just czech for you.

edit: 2005 and an LSA.

Ridge Runner 30th May 2012 16:05

Who's a pretty boy, then????? A Parrot???

Lightning Mate 30th May 2012 16:24

assawun Martin. :ok:

Have a good holiday/house move, whichever it is - prolly the latter.

Looks like a good chance Ken.
