Don’t know the picture, but it is almost certainly the prototype Optica, G-BGMW.
Thanks Ctirip, clear now. The first link works O.K. but your link doesn’t which is wierd as they look identical!
And our old reliable, Wiki, which in this case needs a complete rewrite, so good luck with the interview and maybe you can rewrite their history!

Kursk
As everyone knows, the nuclear-powered missile submarine Kursk, also well known as a Project 949A submarine (quietly called a loaf of French bread), went down while conducting live missile firings in the Barents Sea at a depth of about 100 meters. Below I present a series of photographs taken during an investigation of the submarine after being raised.
I bet the photos are very interesting, but the links do not work.:confused:
My mole in Airbus who should know the facts said he was unable to comment, not ‘no knowledge’ or ‘confidential’ so what would you assume?:D
Do bear in mind he saw it at a bay, so is not likely to be able to of got a wonderful view of it, especially without any binoculars.
And do also consider that it was his first post, so surely you can forgive him for being a bit confused…
Not negative, just stating the obvious conclusion made by people who know aviation. He didn’t need binoculars because he was close enough to read the registration!
All credit to Mr.Marlin
Putting this MB.5 replica together to the stage it is, has taken fantastic efforts, but I bet it will be hard to sell an unfinished project, especially of a unique ‘type’ that has not yet flown.
Unfinished? Sure? A previous poster said it was a flying replica, the advertisement didn’t say either way so probably not yet flown……:confused:
…. sold as spares it could probably get a better return?
– mustang wing and tailplane
– griffon engine etc, etc.
So no credit for blood, sweat and tears? And there I was thinking you were after the engine, but you have enough don’t you!:) Good luck with the project.
There was a good thread last year, to which you didn’t contibute (:D ) about the MB-5 replica best described by Stormbird as ‘fugly’, some Oz expression I believe.

Sorry cannot help. Looks as though it hasn’t flown for thirty seven years, is it in store?
Would have to disagree with both suggestions, the Islander obviously cannot be mistaken as having ‘no wheels’ and everybody, certainly everybody who would post on an aviation forum would know a ‘Jumbo’.:)
I thought preserving cockpits was a fad, but shipping containers? Where is this going to end?:D
Anyway here is a picture of the contents of the box!

Thanks CC for that link. This plane has been around! N1305V, N1306B, N664RB, N650CJ, C-GHOO, OE-GCN, N855DH, OE-GCN and OY-EDP. Imagine what that log book looks like. Should start a thread for the aircraft with the most registrations, this should be a contender.
Yes it is Danish, but was Austrian, OE-GCN and previously N855DH. Now owned by Karlog Air A/S, c/n is 650-0014.
