    Something to do with 'Zenith' then ??

    Or perhaps, rearrange the following letters to find the name of a virtually unknown aircraft manufacturer:

    Try a more literal go at the clue, as in sounds like, and as an extra hint there's a prime one through Greenwich - and then don't forget to add the 'in, or indeed up, a blind one'. But as I said in my original post I was not aware of this manufacturer. And as if on cue whilst typing this who should pop up with the right answer, but Blutto!

    Interesting to note that the square you can see in the pic just below the cockpit, which was enclosed, is an observation window.

    Well, as the Meridionali Ro.37 was a two-seat fighter/reconnaissance biplane, you'd expect it to have windows :).

    Unfortunately I didn't pick Italian first off, so wasted time hunting through a couple of SE European countries first.

    Doh ! Did I say Zenith ? I meant Meridian, of course !

    Four wings is too much, so lets have two and a couple of struts. Not an obscure maker.

    Beatles come to mind with, was it, 4000 holes somewhere in Lancashire, and then a small terrier dog perhaps?

    Fortunately no ferret was injured in the making of this aircraft.

    Blackburn Airedale for avoidance of doubt!
    This should be a bit easier than last one, again from an AA spotters book.

    The RAF actually had four of them.

    Indeed - could have been confusing for Allied AA! Interesting that this aircraft was also a record breaker. Do you wish to 'declare' and take on the next challenge?

    Lets procrastinate and see if anyone else wants a go. This one is not a really hard challenge.

    Presumably that's a model of one of the three that entered an air race to Syria or some such place and picked up the first three places. I hope its fitted with some nifty radials and not those awful buzz-saw motors.

    Top right - Lightning
    bot right, as previous quiz, the Sovoia -M SM79
    Bot left -could be anything! Having had rummage on the net, looks as though it's in Loch Ness! Certainly need the eponymous footwear for that!
