Hi Graeme. You have it the Airspeed As.45 Cambridge.



That fin and rudder look totally wrong.

You have control

An interesting project Graeme. Did this aircraft ever leave the ground? The impression I get is that this is possibly a monoplane with a V12 engine.

Just a wild guess the Bristol Type 133, which in fact had a radial I believe.

Hi Mel.

It did fly mate, in 1926 and it's described as an "advanced cantilever monoplane fighter" with a radial engine - but not British...

Lots of triangular glass sections...was thinking de-Havilland DH-75, but no...

From the USA?

The name Koolhoven is in my mind but I can't find a similar glass arrangement.....

Might be some crazy car/aero combo......

Evening Mel.

So all up 7 pieces of glass - including two for the side-doors?

Polish? High wing? Four place?
