Although BEagle obviuously knew what is was, Noyade gave the correct answer, so you have the floor.

Thanks teusje. BEagle certainly knew it and was first in line, so I'd like to hand control to him.

Noyade, all yours!

Careful!
be aware of the 24 hour rule!
Let the challenge run for 24 hr before confirming any good answer.

We don’t want to loose another poster of good challenges.

'On 2 Nov 1950, the E. 1/44 prototype TX145 departed Farnborough on a local test flight. The pilot, Flt Lt Chris Capper, reported a flameout at 26,000ft, above cloud. Radar judged that the flight could not be safely guided back to Farnborough and directed Capper to an approach at nearby Gatwick. Breaking cloud at some 3,000ft, Capper was able to make a safe approach with undercarriage extended.'

Thanks BEagle!

"That's an ugly looking thing!"
"Repeat please?"

Definitely something Polish?

Agree, pretty certain it merited a mention in a very early Observers Book of Aircraft I acquired many years ago. Stuffed in the loft somewhere.

It is indeed Polish.

Without total conviction, I have to offer the PZL P.50 Jastrząb.
