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. :P

Here ya go. Taken at Biggin Hill the following day. At least I assume it managed to fly the 100 odd miles from Yeovilton. ::) ;)

You're all to good. ::) 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.
