Edgeley Optica perhaps? Perhaps not - I see it has already been on this forum.

Not that either


I thought this was a cinch!

Clue time;

This one is neither fish nor fowl, but nearly both.

Not a gyro, tho with a handle like your's I'd have thought you'd be able to get closer.

I presume the clue is not so obvious to make it a Bristol 171..............

Well, I admit ti being amazed this has lasted so long, with all the expertise here.

The Bristol connetion is a bit too obvious though! No!

Clue time.

This one is neither fish nor fowl, but nearly both.
It has a number of cousins.

One is a fish. Another a fowl, and a third might, in some parts of NW Europe be called a stumpy.

Or is that now too obvious?

Well the Enstrom F-28F was the Falcon ( fowl), the 280FX was the Shark (fish). So could it be the F28-F-P Sentinel or was there another named variant ?

Aha! On the right lines, but not there yet.

It also has an equine cousin, but the one you're searching for is a not an exotic menber of this family. (Well, exotic is relative - no pun intended!)

I'll have to open the picture out a bit if that doesn't help.

In the meantime, this is the dobbin.

Aah, yes! Mr Evans has finally come out of hiding and pointed out my unintentional error in reversing the slide.

A Hughes 500D it is, as I suspect he knew all along.

You have control, Sir!

Rather conventional aircraft. Entered serial production. Not in my realm.
