You didn’t tell us the type Mike. :)
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

It's a Cessna (Corsair) 425 Eric. The later versions dropped the oval windows and were renamed Conquest.

Double slackness from me, didn't see your alert until tonight either. Sorry Eric, and thanks from me too, Ben

It was an English Electric Lightning F Mk6 of 74 Sqn.
PeteP and Brian Franklin were first in, and both nailed the Squadron for a bonus star.
Ben (TSR2), AllanL, Mick (woody901), Joe (blanston12), Eric (Tomliner), Simon (simondix) and Brian (Bridon Bear) also scored diamonds

"I got the Blackburn Beverley"
So said Brian (Bridon Bear), PeteP, Mick (woody901), Joe (blanston12), and for so saying, getting diamond badges:

Eric (Tomliner) got it on his second entry, gaining gold.

To be precise, it's XB259 owned by Solway Aviation Museum, whose purchase price was $0, but they did have to pay for removal.
There's no more to show, because I gave you the entire picture.
Thanks for playing :thumbsup:

As they sang in "Fairytale of New York" :"I could have been someone"
Well, so could this aircraft, but fame didn't happen :|

Had to check that I'd uploaded this one; no takers so far.

Do you need more of the picture?
