There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Alan, you are of course on the money ......... well done, sir. Apparently, there were only four aircraft made.
Everyone else must be out getting ice cream!

......or perhaps we didn't know what the heck it was! I thought the tail looked similar to an Me262 but the prop threw me!

it has a touch of the P51 about it - big beast of a thing, though. Looks like speed might be good but manoeuvrability poor?
