Well known GM car manufacturer springs to mind, and its not a Volvo, and I'm sure it may have something in common with the Flying Fortress...

Mmm,

You are incredible!!!
not only youre have the right answer, you are not spolling for the others

you are one of a special kind, charlie

I can confirm that. I thought I was pretty good but Charlie's knowledge is incredible.

I also know what it is but won't spoil it for the others. Don't confuse it with a legendary bomber.

Funnily enough, last night I found next to the PC (who knows how they got there...):

Aircraft Illustrated (8/1980, 8/1977)
World AirNews (south african apparently - 10/1977)
Aviation week and Space technology (Jun 29th 1981)
& Air Enthusiast Quarterly (as it was called back then - #4!) with an article on the CF-100!

Over teh winter months, I went overboard in obtaining collections of Air illustrated ('70s and 80's), several Jane's books, and a second-half 1952 Aeroplane Weekly bound set.

Now, if I can catalogue them and place them at hand, ...

I might be able to make people believe that I know just about enough about airplanes as Hagar has forgotten ...

I've got a kit of that in 1/72 scale...I decided to do a series planes from the manufacturer.

Love the gear doors.
