Could some one please educate me on what this aircraft is

Thanks


It's amazing what you can find if you put the registration into Google!

It's a Focke-Wulf Fw 44J Stieglitz (Goldfinch). Registered as G-STIG,
but nothing to do with Top Gear. It was part of the Shuttleworth
Collection, but according to the G-INFO database it's now in the USA.

Thanks for that useful bit of information Peter. Can't help but feel if
I knew what the registration was, I'd have done that. But alas, all I
could see was D-2692 and that returned no results. Nor did the
Shuttleworth collection website have it listed. I'll go direct to you in
future to get the information I don't have ;-)


That's odd, because Google.uk comes up with lots of hits, starting with
Airliners.net and Air Britain. Perhaps the Antipodean version works in
the opposite direction?

Anyway, here are some photos of her at Old Warden on 5 August 2007. The
picture you posted looks like it was taken there too.
