Good morning Bri.
Well my initial thought is a DH83 Fox Moth.....but perhaps I am missing something?

Thanks Bri, sometimes it pays to go for the obvious....after posting I recalled there was a Japanese version and started to wonder if it was that! Will have to be Open House as tied up work wise this afternoon.

Since yesterday I got away with an Open House, today I'm going to pay my debt...
Here's a queer silhouette for you to guess!



Best regards

evansb is right

SNCASO ONERA Deltaviex (VX)


strange plane, my French isn't perfect but from what I could understand it had a high-sweep wing (but not a delta, despite the name), blown flaps and no directional controls, or, to be more precise, directional control was obtained by some kind of air blowing (unsure if directional nozzles or some sort of Coanda effect)...
Now at Ailes Anciennes Toulouse (Ailes Anciennes Toulouse - Découvrez notre Collection).

evansb has control

Well done RegDep, yes you are correct The caption says a C4C, but after the merger it became a K-85. Your control.

Thanks evansb!

Given the fact that only two C4Cs were built, this one had gotten quite far

This is the one for the night shift. I will retire now and be back in the morning. I hope it is OK, I'd hate to declare open house:

Goog morning/evening. I can see that Graeme has been around and posted, but somehow it does not appear on my screen, I wonder if he deleted his post .

Edit to say that yes he has posted (the post appeared only when I posted this one), and he's got it right

All yours Sir!

Sorry reg, have to be open house again. My post appeared on the thread list but not in the actual thread...? Had the modem replaced yesterday but still have a few issues.

Cheers mate.
