(I'm a bastard aren't I? :D). :)

Yes. You are! :mad:

Charge, what type of Dornier? Merkur is the model? I checked many dorniers, didn't find that one... :P

EDIT: never mind, found it. Your turn to post, Charge.

I guess the register helped you a bit? ;)

I had it down as Dornier Komet, but yeh...they were essentially the same plane.

"I guess the register helped you a bit?"

It did, after everything else had failed.  ;)

I suspected it was a German by the rudder style but could not find the appropriate type.

Hey! I can't leave you alone for a single afternoon and you post a lot of pictures? Of Italian planes, no less! :furious

Glock, re set your beauty canons, the 72 is a wonderful airplane, had we had it a little earlier, we'd have won the Schneider! And the Bugatti is simply wonderful! :)
