Its a Tucano

The Gloss black paint job gives it away although looking at the tail you can see why PTP thought it was a Chipmunk....... but it isn't :D

Its a Tucano, there's another one sat outside VAS if you scroll over, nice to see the place is still cluttered with old Phantoms...

I thought De Havilland's last roll-out was the Comet?

Weren't these made by the same people who developed the Banderanti?

I'll vote Tucano as well.

The paint job isn't necessarily a decent clue anymore, since the BBMF's two Chippys have succumbed to the all-over black training scheme. They have a wide white band on the wings, though, and I'd guess that this would be fairly obvious in plan view.

P_K, yes - originally developed by EMBRAER, but licence built (at considerably greater cost than simply getting the Brazilians to add the UK-specific features at their factory...) by Shorts.

Can I take my anorak off now?

I vote Tucano, often seen on finals for a very sleapy Shropshire aerodrome.

Well if Vandyke had included the whole view , showing all the other blimmin 2 cans lined up , I wouldn't have thought the thing was tail sitting. Though another arrser did opine that it's actually flying....
