It's amazing what you can find if you put the registration into Google!

It's a Focke-Wulf Fw 44J Stieglitz (Goldfinch). Registered as G-STIG,
but nothing to do with Top Gear. It was part of the Shuttleworth
Collection, but according to the G-INFO database it's now in the USA.

Thanks for that useful bit of information Peter. Can't help but feel if I
knew what the registration was, I'd have done that. But alas, all I could
see was D-2692 and that returned no results. Nor did the Shuttleworth
collection website have it listed. I'll go direct to you in future to get
the information I don't have ;-)

Thanks anyway to yourself and the others that have supplied the correct
answer for me. Don't want to appear as though I am ungrateful :-)

It is much appreciated.

Glenn

FMA Fw-44J Steiglitz.

I had some friends in California who restored one in Swedish colors.

That's odd, because Google.uk comes up with lots of hits, starting with
Airliners.net and Air Britain. Perhaps the Antipodean version works in
the opposite direction?

Anyway, here are some photos of her at Old Warden on 5 August 2007. The
picture you posted looks like it was taken there too.

Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Absolute Tripe. That's what
comes of doing things in a hurry and not checking filenames and images
properly.

Try these instead.
