Andrew Godden 934 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 OK. I think it was with me before I went into hospital anyway. With Alan back, and no doubt in fine form, this shouldn't take long. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Must be - nose and canopy look Japanese, wing looks Grumman, landing gear like Me-109 and a Russian rudder. What else could it be? John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 And welcome back, Alan. Indeed correct, but I would add a J to make it the J 22, if I wanted to split hairs. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Oddly enough I have a camera made by the same company, I love to get up at Sunrise to use it though. It used a British engine that seemed to come from the underworld! It was no coincidence that the aircraft resembled the F-86 Sabre. Link to post Share on other sites

My father had one and I used it for years. That reminds me, I must find out what happened to it. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Not a Voigtlander Andrew but one that shares its name with the maker of this aircraft, a large mountain, a1990s pop group and a species of apple....oh and a Shipbuilder! Link to post Share on other sites
