 | Is Kyt's latest a captured Dutch Fokker G1A ? (Or I think the solid nose version was the G1  My home PC is down at present so we are back to the Stone Age. I'm sending this from work, but I won't be back here till Wednesday so won't see the answer to this till then. And probably not even then if our IT dept have anything to do with it. Should I be right, which I'm probably not, someone else have a go. I was going to post about our PC in "Barracks" to explain my absence, but I think most of you that I communicate with regularly come to this thread.

| My first thought is something by Miles or French. Don't ask why. Actually, after looking at it a bit harder I think it might be something by Boulton-Paul. I'll stick my neck out and say it's the first prototype Defiant which was built without a turret in 1937.
