And can anyone correct the Wikipedia entry ?

In most cases, yes. Top right corner by the search box there should be 3 tabs (Read, Edit, View History) and if the Edit is available, a click should bring up the entry page with a message that says the entry is editable.

That's the simple answer. Regarding rules, references, rebuttals -- I never read that far

It's the good and bad of Wiki.. it is "open" but also why it sometimes contains crap

Ah, Vanessa ! Such a lovely name for a very plain bird...... A Canadian Vickers failure.

But if you have the definitive book, why were you 'not 100% sure of the designation' ????

Don't have the book Mike. Was getting the info second hand.

[lefty]

Hmm, had a look at prices and don't think I'll be getting that book either !

Here's a nice easy one to tempt some of our less frequent visitors. Don't think it has featured here before.

Is this a German/Japanese combination of a Zero & a Me109?

[lefty]

No sir.

[Hurricane91]

More of an German-American melange. The Bf-109 V21 with a P&W Twin Wasp.

All Italian text as well. Not a big selling point for me.

[lefty]

John has nailed the Messerschmitt - V21 or Bf 109 X as it is sometimes referred to. Over to Kansas -

Must have been a noisy brute......

[Hurricane91]

Thanks for the brew Lefty, I needed that after a long hot day.
That Messer's canopy does remind me of the old 1/4 inch scale
Aurora Zero.

This one has two names...



...pick one or both.

[DHC2Pilot]

or all three.....Romanian ICAR Commercial, aka Messerschmitt M.36, aka IAR 36.

[Hurricane91]

Horray! Very good sir. You have the floor.
