What Cockpit? MK VI
Hello Fitter2,
No, I wasn't at Sywell, but I have been fascinated by the Luciole from the moment the first news of it filtered across from France around 2006. To be able to power an aeroplane with a small four stroke industrial engine seemed like the answer to a homebuilder's dream.
As soon as I saw that V-twin (Briggs & Stratton Vanguard or Honda), both have been used), I was pretty sure it was the Luciole. There is also the Czech SD-1 with the same engines, so I did need to do a search first.
Here's the next one:

Mr Grubby. Thank you for starting this ! Please allow me to kick start the sixth year with this little photo ? it does not appear in Mels supurb listing, and I assume will not linger too long ??

Well, after 1200 views and a couple of very well educated attempts, time for a small clueette ? This particular aircraft is based at my local airport .... Norwich (EGSH) (NWI) ... and actually landed in front of my eyes this afternoon ! propelled by its pusher propeller, with its winglets glistening in the late sun ?
