Reminded me of the Katana, but it's actually a DA-40...

Open house if correct...

G'day Mel.
I think the arrow points to an exhaust-pipe that flows over the top wing?



The Gwinn Aircar?




(Mel, did Mr India42 declare open house?)

Graeme.
The Gwinn Aircar. That is the bird. There surely cannot be an uglier aircraft than that.

My apologies to India Four Two. I jumped the gun I am afraid when I read Super Cecil Post
Didn't take long, opened up again.
.

I owe India Four Two a post.

No worries, Mel. It's not a serious contest. Anyway, I didn't have my next challenge ready.

I knew it had to be an Airtruk, having recently seen one in the flesh, so to speak, in the Ashburton, NZ museum.

Metal fuselage, twin pilot operation rules out my first thought about one of the DeH stable. Has a British feeling somehow

Taken at Brooklands? And that's a very car-type seat too, so I'll go Straight to the Miles M11.

SincoTC is spot on. First flight on July 4th, 1929. The amphib was powered by either inline or radial motors. A short but entertaining video, complete with period appropriate music, is available about the SARO Cutty Sark at Alliott Verdon-Roe - Official website



Your turn.

It was late thirties, but not a freighter!
