Well it could be the Fiat G59A and B - except that it didn't, as far as I know, go to South America.....

Hurrah for the shining knight of the road networks!

According to my sources, one was sent to the Argies.

Very gracious of you BEags, and since there appear to be no other takers, here goes:

I could have been a high flier, but never found my pot of gold.

What a day, too much flying and not enough time off to PPRuNe.

Jet?

'Too much flying....?'

There is such a thing?

Left home at 0730, made a bolleaux decision regarding M25 roadworks and got stuck on A329M trying to be a clever bug.ger by going down through Bracknell to the M3 to avoid them. Got to CAA at 1020; 15 minutes phone and laptop chat for the 'day job', then 51/2 hour meeting with the CAA. Much better trip home - until wretched A40 roadworks.....

And all on one of the nicest days of the year...

However, enough of my prattle.

Single engine?

Civilian? H'mm. Not in its initial form, but would have been in a further development.

Not a jet as such, though there was an element of jet thrust, and it was multi-engined.

Needn't have bothered with that last edit. Outstanding, BEags! You have control.

M0.8 at FL400 - with 4 piston engines! That was truly amazing!!

Bit knackered after 5 hours behind the V-6 Benz today, so am off up the wooden hill right now; if anyone wants to take the helm, please do!

OK then,

People think I'm related to a far better known aeroplane, but I'm not! But I can easily see why they think that......
