Thanks... was easy with the clues provided.

Yeah, they all look quite similar, except for the swept-back wings of this one (which I never noticed before, btw).

I fear I will have to call it an OpenHouse since up here it is getting late...will make up for it on the first occasion.
Have a nice day/night and see you tomorrow.
HP over and out.

They are indeed mate; the smiley was meant to indicate I was being facetious!!

It's a national holiday so that, along with Easter Monday makes it a very short working week!! No invitation though

As you're rapidly heading for monday, may I wish you and all in the antpodes a Very Happy ANZAC Day

I've gotta rapidly head for the garden now, but will pop back from time to time, expect HP or irishair will ID your challenge pretty quickly!

Are you sure this isn't a self-portrait mate?

Yes...I realised that a bit late. Very big news here but is it just as big in the UK?

Thanks for the Anzac wishes, unfortunately I'll be at work and miss the local march.

I may have to retract my challenge as I can't find any mention of it?!

It's from Messerschmitt...

Well, at least I'll leave you a clue:
this had a tractor propeller (on paper).

Me too; 'tiz hot work in the garden

First thought was it looks like a propjet Hawk, and it looks like it could be!

As you said, a Hawk BTT!

Cool-looking university project.

SincoTC has control (unless he's fully devoting his time to his garden?)!
