Hate to say this (Airgage will have guessed - saw you on line mate!) but I was in the Dog and Bull enjoying The Great Cod Almighty (more like Good Cod, is that all) and a pint!

Blimey, I actually beat Beagle and Treadders!- In the pub indeed!, have you not heard of laptops and Wi-Fi?

Here you go then...
I was destined for testing times, but was rather prone to control difficulties.

Short and sweet!
I've had it on my mind for a while now, as a possible answer to one of Beagle's. Glad I've got it out of my system!

Over to you...

I had a stormy birth, then moved North and became flightless.

No. Another clue that should be a give-away. In the land of my birth I had younger, much more aggressive brothers. Emil was one of them.

Equal points to Airbedane and Bre901! Bf 108 Taifun (Typhoon), production of which was transferred to Occupied France with SNCA du Nord (hence 'North'), where it became the 'Pingouin' (Penguin, flightless bird).
