No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the
twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID
this plane.

Mighty close Carles, but I think it is not the Sadler Vampire.

There's a couple of people saying it is the Sparrow Hawk, but I
haven't gotten a confirmation yet.

Thanks,

I think Phillippe and Anyolmouse are the definite winners. I dug up an
image using the wayback machine and it is a pretty definite match for
the Sparrow Hawk. Looks real close to the Sadler machine, particularily
the military version, but the Sparrow Hawk is a dead ringer. I heard
Sadler was bringing the Vampire back under LSA rules. It looks like a
neat ship.
