Hi RD. I was thinking a Hart II (Kestrel) Registration G-ABMR.

[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's the one, I couldn't find my registration lists until this morning.
Have you seen Shuttleworth's Hind, it is gorgeous.........

Yeah it does look a bit like the Alcotan...

That was very quick Patoruzu! Yep, Ki-54. The same aircraft, but in a better condition...

Baba Masao's Ki-54 eventually ended up in a kindergarten at a RAAF base (Fairbairn) in Canberra, but I don't know what eventually became of it.

Graeme, I believe the fuselage is held in storage by the AWM.

Thanks Andy, I thought it may have perished as a result of the environment and/or the kindergarten kids!

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Very appropriate hint! Redford played Johnny Hooker in "The Sting" (1973), so it must be Sir Stanley Hooker...

Stanley Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Similar process?...

Hint...

Hi Krabat, back from holidays?

Not yet. In fact I wasn't really away yet. But now that my girlfriend's play is on stage in Munich, I will have a little more time. At least she will have, I hope.

Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast.

Similar process?...

I know this man. I'm thinking of a young Alec Issigonis, wrong kind of engineer. A young Seversky? Maybe James Jabara? I will have to think about it.

Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint...
