Evening Mel,
Convinced that the glimpse of struts warranted further attention (plus the additional small bracing strut onto them), I began thinking U/C and then a bit laterally, your answers were carefully phrased, possibly it has no wings!!
I haven't got time to look for a cockpit picture, but the struts fit perfectly, as do the clues, plus a good bit of cropping to avoid the pylon
so I'll take a punt!
I think it may be the Focke-Wulf Fw 186 Autogyro??
My first visit since Saturday, it's been very hectic with visitors/consultants/meetings etc, plus a pressing deadline for an important shipment to Japan by this Friday, so I don't know when I'll get back again
. Therefore, Open House please if correct
