Think it's a Mk XVI. The "if only I had somwhere to put it" excuse not really needed on this occasion!! Oddly, it seems to have most of it's rudder fabric missing.

Oddly I was thinking of emailing them and offering them my BX - I would be so glad to see the back of it, preferably blown up.

Great vehicle, would love to have one in the stable. If I had a stable. Reminds me of one of my favourite YouTube clips, I never get bored of this...you need to whack the sound right up for it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvDDDKnNhuEForgive me if it appears elsewhere on the forum.
