OK, by popular request, here's a proper W.W.II era propeller 'plane, none of those nasty jet mockups and so on. Not in W.W.II though.

Usual rules, what, where, Mike can't play, catch your own ponies, warm feeling to the winner.

Drat. A close look at the roundel might help.

I had figured out the nationality, but not the type. I didn't realize the Danes flew SAABs A quick Google search turned up this..

Saab 17A aircraft with Danish insignia, on display at the Danish Technical Museum, Helsingor, Denmark.

Score.

When I saw it last year, it was hung about where the Dragon Rapide is in the pic.

Great..I could use them! We've got a foot-and-a-half of snow on the ground outside, and temps in the single-digits! (that's a half-meter of snow and -10/15c for you metric folks)

Hmm. 40 degree C day here in Melbourne - that's 104 for the Fahrenheit folks. It's just gone midnight, and I'm by an open window in shorts - finally it's come down to 20 degrees C (68F).

Goodnight!

Cool airplane. It was 72 degrees (F) here yesterday, and it is the dead of winter. You can tell, cause if it was summer it would be 78 (F).
