Late bid from Mel closes it down. It is a single seat Miles M2 Hawk Major.

Mel, YHC

Thanks Kitbag. However, the accolade should go to TheiC. Spotted that it was a Miles product. Once he had gathered all the clues it was just a case of consulting Don L Brown's excellent book "Miles Aircraft since 1925".

Over to you TheiC.

That's very kind. The arrangement identified the engine, which led to the a range of possibilities, and then it was just whittling it down.

I'm afraid I don't have anything to hand which passes the GI test, so let's make it Open House.

Well as you have nothing to post here is one that I am sure will not cause a problem:-

Is this Dornier Do 17Z-2 ,Werk Nummer 1160 on the Goodwin sands?

MReyn24050 26th May 2013 22:40

No not the Dornier Kitbag.

One of two jet engines hugging the fuselage?
It's on your list but could it be the Su-25?

You are of course correct Graeme. The "Frogfoot". It would appear these aircraft could survive some really harsh battle damage.

You have control.

Not so much hugging the fuselage. More like trying to escape its clutches...

Noyade 27th May 2013 10:54

Thank you Mel.

Not much to offer I'm afraid....

Probably a flying boat and this 'looks' Italian somehow. Any chance it's this; Macchi M33

Macchi M33
Well done mate, it is indeed. :ok:

Your control. Cheers.

TVM, been a while since I got anything right, so 2 in one day feels good. This should ensure the baton is passed on rapidly;

How about the AIDC F-CK1 Ching-kuo?

Noyade 28th May 2013 21:46

Evening Kitbag!

No mate, not that Chingy thing.

ICT_SLB 29th May 2013 04:06

Are you continuing the French theme with the Dassault Mirage IV?

Noyade 29th May 2013 04:28

No mate, no French theme here. No Mirage.
