Mystery aircraft, or, Wings over Elsecar
Help please with aircraft recognition.
Flying low over Elsecar, Barnsley, yesterday, single engined, propellor, low wing a/c with wingtip bulges painted black, straight and parallel leading and trailing edges and tall, squared off fin. Configuration reminds me of F-80 Shooting Star, but that was a jet.
Regards
Geoff
