Aircraft Identification Challenge 247
Ok, l'm quietly confident that this challenge is much harder than it looks.
Can you name this aircraft type and maker?
Good luck!

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 247
Sorry Cliff, no, its actually from a well known maker.
I must admit I didn't know of it ( but then again, I don't know many of them )
This image will probably give it away.

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 247
Gentlemen,
To state the obvious, I know just the basic range of aircraft types and rely on searched information to present to you all.
Here is the completed image, with source / detail listed and l stand corrected if it proves otherwise.
I value your input and will make corrections after your debate.
Cheers,
John

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 247
Very good John.
I must admit the aircraft did look familiar from a recent challenge.
after l found the 'posted' image of an Antelope, l tried to find other types of images to no avail.
Now l understand why.
Looks like Cliff gets the chocolates.
Thanks for the correction.
