    Horten Ho229.

    Edit: with the wings missing post capture by the Spams.

    I've seen similar ones with the wings missing but the Horten is a pretty distinctive type.

    I should have snipped it so that you only had the doors at the far underside, that would have foxed you, blaggard.

    Now then, Minister of Transport ... don't get personal!! The fact that I co-existed with the Horten [at least, overlapped a bit] does not mean I helped unbolt the wings.

    What's this one, cheeky!

    [EDIT ... BTW, I've airbrushed fin markings ... can't make things too easy]
