Well the first one didn't last too long. Try this one for size. Taken at Yeovilton Air Day.

LET your mind rest easy, but that is not a flyable airplane, since we all know that bumble-bees cannot fly, and we can probably come up with more than 37 reasons why.

I think I have a (very poor) shot of it in the air to prove conclusively that bumble bees can & do in fact fly. Tongue

You're all to good. Roll Eyes Craig PM'd me the answer as he was at Yeovilton on the same day. Felix obviously sussed it out straight away. I'd actually forgotten what it is & had to look it up.

It's registered as a ZLIN Z.37 A-2, manufactured by LET NARODNI PODNIK KUNOVICE. Otherwise known as the Cmelak or Bumble Bee.
