wow that one did not last long :huh:

I must admit that being Maltese that was very easy indeed.
Reason:At the begining of WWII Malta had only three gladiators to fight the enemy.The three were named Faith,Hope and Charity.One of them namely Faith can still be seen in Malta's National Aviation Museum.

Alan,
Very interesting bit of Aviation History that I was not aware of.
Thanks.

Since this Mystery Aircraft got IDed so fast, I will have another one ready to go in just a few days. I think that I have found a good old rare one.
