Aircraft Identification Challenge 193

Post by K4KittyCrew »

OK, here is an interesting challenge for you all.
Can you name this aircraft type and maker.
I do not have a lot of detail on it.
Good luck.

Not giving too much away, it's either a ???????? V1 or V2, not sure until more is revealed. Only two built i think.
Back again, just noticed from the front section, that its possibly a V2
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.

It looks vaguely Manchester like in the first photo, but decided on the Henschel 124 ? I think Alan gets the cigar though :D

Do i take it, that you will not be choosing another photo from the site advertised in the full photo, otherwise you will be making it too easy :lol:
