Google is your friend.

There was only one aeroplane to specification T16/48 apart from the Provost.

Is it the REP Parasol? Or would that be too obvious? Gutted to miss out on the HPR2, one of the very few on this thread I knew at first glance.

Now guys,

I dislike challenges which go on for a long time, especially when it's close to a whole day. It's supposed to be fun, not hardship.

So I will give a big clue shortly, but surely my last one would have given it to you!!!
