Offset control column and yoke puts one in mind of a P38, perhaps (to account for the compass installation) one of the batch of P38Ds without the rather essential superchargers that went to the RAF (who gave the aircraft its popular name I think). Course I have been wrong twice already today so ...

Both correct of course.

An interesting aeroplane, about which I've read very little, except for the Pilot's handbook which is where the illustration comes from.

Oops, we're in trouble now he forgot to add:

Any little Frenchman involved in the design?

Kitbag. Well, knowing the experts we have out there I thought that the comment would be unnecessary .

Yes a frenchman did have an influence in the design of this aircraft.

Good grief, is it not the mighty Condor? If it is, I didn't know of a French connection.

Cheers,

Mustpost,

Druine, of course! If it is the Condor, I can't believe it hasn't been done already.

Still haven't got anything suitable to post, the few I have available have already been posted.

Open house if I've got it.
