Spot on - a recently acquired folly.... great fun it is too :-) A +6 -4G aerial quadbike.... great for counting the cattle!



Amazingly over-engineered for a tiny light aircraft (eg solid titanium undercarriage) and surprisingly agile....

You have control :-)

Welcome back LM and a good call mate

A warm welcome to you too hum! Great video; it hasn't got the thrust/weight ratio of a Harrier, but it sure looks like a fun little aeroplane

Looks like it's been a good scrap on "What Cockpit".

Things are much better now that Graeme is just nine hours ahead of us.

G'day David!

We went back an hour last weekend. Time here is 2045 hrs. PPrune says 1045 hrs.

Yours the Miles M.7A Nighthawk?

Good evening mate.

Remarkably similar, but not a Miles.

Prune is now GMT+1, and it's saying 1148 on my screen.

All too complicated for me. All I know is I'm always in front...

Looks familiar...Scandinavian, Finnish, Danish...or something or other...

Scandinavian, Finnish, Danish...or something or other...

Looking at the tiles on the background building.

They look Spanish...did it serve in the Spanish Civil War?

(I have no idea what a Spanish tile looks like! )

This exact model was not in the Spanish civil war, but the number is so so close.

Go get it mate. I'll accept two other models from the same designer/manufacturer.

Thank you, David.

According to this site the GP-1 was an open cockpit version which did take part in the war.

Spanish Civil War Aircraft

Anyway here's the next challenge
