    The net result would be the same. Not only did we suss out the Apollo, but I had prepped the Accountant as my response... Keith, have we been spending too much time together?

    Gxx - this looks very much like the Sid Holloway SAH-1, aka Trago Mills etc....

    ... if so, I'd be grateful to know the location of the photograph. I have a number of photographs, in the background of which are similar buildings, which I've not been able to place. It would be useful to add this missing detail to those.

    That's correct, Keith

    The photograph is said to be taken "outside Syd Holloway's Bodmin workshop in early 1983", cf. Aeroplane Oct. 2016.

    The environment looks very British, and the plane looks like G-ATXN which may be called Mitchell-Proctor Kittiwake I

    Maybe a prototype of the "B-0" series like the He112V11 (D-IRXS)?

    Silly me indeed, it's an He118. V1 again ?

  15. #14190
    Finally you got it !

    Not sure if it is the V1! All sources are silent about the depicted version.

    Looks interesting, gX, but for the next 48hrs I'm going to be up to my neck in Christmassy things - as the chef in our household I have to prepare to feed (and water!) the hungry hordes....

    I'd like to wish all my friends here a lovely relaxing Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year !

    (I've asked Santa for something suitable for an elderly curler for Christmas.....)
