Well **** me gently!
This is getting silly - I really thought it was the rear skid on Santa's sleigh. That's before he had the FAA approved mod of course !!
Wellll....it looked fairly big and the colour red made me think of some Trans-arctic survey plane of some sort and I thought it would be something obscure...so I opted for a Norseman. Found out that was wrong and had another look at the target pic.
Noted that it was a tail dragger (judging by the angle ?) that it appeared to have a very large wing root area judging by the smaller, lower side window and assuming I was looking at the front windshield assembly, so had another think. Ruled out the Otter cos it had different 'quarterlight windows, went off and had a cuppa and then for some reason started thinking about 'Winnie May' flown by Wiley Post. Ok it was the wrong colour but a two minute search on the World Wide Wait seemd to match so I offered it up !
