Is it the Supermarine S.6B?

A schneider-cup racer?

No, Capt. Vick, it's a Schneider Trophy racer.



You won't be lifting that up above your head on the podium and drinking Dom Perignon out of it.

That was a lucky guess; it was the first thing that sprang to mind when you said about it being a Schneider Trophy aircraft.



The clue is "You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run..."

Currently London. UK

I am opting for a Folland Gnat in Red Arrows Colors but can be wrong

Not even sure what I am looking at.

Nope. Tengu1979's on the right track, but it's not a Gnat - and its not British or American. Definitely post war.

Viking, the RAAF display team is called the Roulettes and the Kenny Rogers song I quoted from was the Gambler - thought that might not have been all that obvious in hindsight!

The clue made sense to me only after I figured it was a Pilatus of the Roulettes.

Sorry guys, I'll be a bit more obvious next time. I thought if any of you would get it it'd be you, wuzak.

In light of all the fuss that I caused in another thread of my beloved forum I thought this was appropriate.
