Does any body have any info on this aircraft. The only reference I can find on the net is a single photo.

This was an NRC project, it finished up flying out of Arnprior I belive, having been towed from Edmonton behind a DC3!

Thanks for that. I was suckered by the wrong designation, it should have been NRC Pterodactyl VIII, a continuation of Geoffrey Hills interwar tailless designs.
