I was gonna say Sturgeon. I have never heard about this plane before. Is the bird still around? Picture looks recent to me.

I believe it's still in existence Jim.
Unlike it's forerunner - the R.S.1 - the beautifully British named "Snargasher"...

Cool! Never heard of that one either. Reminds me of the Hanriot H-232

That is what happens when you don't check that the correct number of boxes in the flat pack were delivered before you start assembling the kit.

Or it could be the new tail wheel wear saving undercarriage.

Or it could be the new series - In Search of an engine.

Or I could probably do with getting my daily dosage reviewed.....

The VL Myrsky?

(Thought Hurricane originally - but the tail is completely different)

Hmmm...
It does have a Hurricane look about it, though, Graeme.

i was thinking Fokker D.XXI but the rudder is the wrong shape. Also, the aircraft appears to have a retractable tailwheel which makes no sense for the fixed-undercarriage Fokker.

Yes VL Myrsky was somewhat desperate attempt to eliminate the Soviet threat. Glues were poor...as the wing was fully wooden.

Possibly they copied the structure as we had Hurricanes.
