TIA ~ Dingo Full flaps so he's either coming or going; Squared wing tips Tail empennage appears elevated A hint of a liquid cooled in-line engine Coverlets are attached to the landing gear Lots of weeds in that field -- needs a mower. B&W photo which has been folded in the center; Taken from the ground, probably at the end or head of a runway That's about as far as I got, but I do not know UK aircraft. Cheers, Dave |
