• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hope the missus is better too....

In the meantime, who is the possessor of this unlovely snout ?

Some hints in the Zlin/Arado-like trainer.
It is postwar, the country of birth is close to that of Lefty's previous post and (part of) the Model number is written on the aircraft itself.:icon_lol:
 
Hmmm, I have 57 different aircraft in my database with the numbers 54 in the model. Unfortunately NONE are a match. She's a stinker.
 
This is the Letov XLA-54 from the CSSR. It first flew 1950 and was (reportedly) a "upgraded'' Avia XLE-10 of a few years earlier.
Engine was a 580hp M-411R (local Argus Afs-411).

Am in the process of upgrading my PC and would ask for OPEN HOUSE::jump:
 
This twin is from a well known company better known probably for bombers and transports. Or at least one very infamous bomber.
