Hi Lefty.

Not from France mate. This is a German fighter - and I only picked it cause it's name has something in common with your floater above. :untroubled:
 
AH ! So I wasn't so far from the mark with my Nieuport suggestion ???

Well ya learn new things every day! :untroubled:
Sorry mate, my source mentioned nothing about the Nieuport connection. Apologies.

But well done Lefty, the Franz Schneider fighter it is. :very_drunk:

(Your up awful late for a Scot?)
 
Not so much up late, as up early, G ! The Boss was curling last night and she brought back a lovely Chinese 'carry-oot' as we call it. Seemed like a good idea at the time........at least it wasn't a curry !:ichile:

Anyway, enough of my digestive problems - here's an old favourite -

"We're doomed" as you say over there - well, according to Dad's Army. :untroubled:

Thanks Green. And now a rare color mystery from me...

Thanks for the link Green, I was thought referring to the Turbomeca listing in Wiki. Engine listing is where I tend to go if I have a suspicion of knowing the engine fitted in order to find an aircraft....tenuous & convoluted.....thats me though. Now off to see if I can find your next poser.
