Persistence pays off!!!! Well done, Ken.

I found two on the belgian register - OO-ANN and -ASZ. All I know is that it was built by J. Orta and had a Cirrus Hermes IV engine.

YOU HAVE CONTROL

Thanks Martin...it certainly required a little detective work. Still I managed to find a very useful website in the process!

Here we go, and apologies for the image quality....

My second stab is going to be suggesting that it is Japanese? I'm pretty sure its not a yank.

You can suggest its Japanese, but you would be wasting your time...its not! And its not American either.

Good afternoon gentlemen.

It looks like it's been a double act all day!

Ever had a day when the in-tray is so full you can't see over it?

Looks like November is a 6-ship, maybe 8.

Got your PM earlier...thanks.

Glass number one!

So, we have an un-cowled early radial.

Might that be an Anzani?

I'll have to leave you as a singleton mate....
... that's one missile off the rail.....
