Apologies that it's not the best photo but it's the best one I could find :oops:

The body looks like an ME163 but the challenge 'image' has twin props.
I'm struggling to think of it as an ME410 but that is the best I can come up with so far.

True to form, another good poser. Can't make out whether or not it's a nose or tail wheel
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.
