Thanks Reg,
At least you can get to bed now without having to get up early to monitor it. I bet Berlin seems tropical after where you've been. Sleep well.![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
Bugger, now I've got to do another one!!

Nice to see eager beavers online!! Not British
The challenge shows a passener aircraft, but there was also a military variant that looked like the result of an unnatural relationship between a Boeing 727 and an ATL-98 Carvair along with that wing and pods

Well done skytrain,
Although, my source doesn't mention any involvement of Fokker, it is the VFW VC-180P
