Did someone crash a Puma into a 1980s branch of Halfords???

We'd need pics from all around to see where they stuck the TURBO badge.

No badge, but there are a couple of spinny-vane things on top of the fuselage

Hmm: Top Trumps Stealth Factor 1/10

Very 1970s/1980s design.

Apparently it's an RV-6... that was the local airfield shortly before lockdown (I was out with my dad for a ride, and noticed he was lining up for landing!)
Not much to tell between the two types, of course.

Ah yes, very similar. My mate is very frustrated at the moment, we've had great weather for flying, but he's not allowed out to play!

Yep, I've been making the most of the one-a-day exercise! Of course, general aviation isn't exactly essential travel, but it would definitely be good weather for taking to the skies.
