Good evening LM and Regdep,

Thanks for posting my last LM, I've just taken the liberty of sending you some more images for your expert attention, ta muchly!

Reg, too late I'm afraid, skytrain got there first, but that was a useful looking link (now bookmarked)!

Here's one for you YouTube - Dixon of Dock Green intro Jack Warner 1973

I'm off now, so goodnight all

....if you carry the right markings, then fighter pilots are very friendly.

....carry the wrong ones, then I suggest you pray to whoever you think may be able to help you - you have seconds for a response.................

Remember - the difference between ordinary aeroplanes and real aeroplanes is that the latter have triggers........

LM

Just shutting down my other computer and have sent you another email re one of the images I sent earlier and noticed your latest comment. I couldn't resist pointing out that Roy Rogers had a Trigger between his legs, I bet that made him a bit special

Really off now, seeya

I'd argue that real aeroplanes have radials!

Morning by the way!!!!

The aeroplane is quite new. It is classified as a factory-built microlight.

It's European.

I can't find the exact year, but I think it's within the last two or three.

It isn't Czech.

More clues in an hour.

Blimey RegDep!

The manufacturer is not on that list.

Before I give a big clue, try Northern Europe (not Germany or France).

There is a company in the UK which acts as an authorised sales outlet.

Are we talking about Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat "From the land of Antonov, MiG, Sukhoi and Yak the A22 is another real alternative. An easy-to-fly 450kg SLA with very good pilot/passenger comfort"
