"An alternative form of vertical takeoff", he says... 
Mitsubishi MRJ?
Edit: You watching the race? I do hope the tyres on your Mercedes are attached a little better than on Button's...

Sorry, yes - watching the race.
Sure are. Nice big 9 inch rims and 170 mph 40 aspect ratio tyres. Been on for 9000 miles now and are about two thirds worn, front and rear.
Will need a new set by the end of the year - ££££££
The Mitsubishi it is - your serve again.

Now you ask me: why in hell would you put radiators halfway down the wings when the engine is in the fuselage?
And I answer: idk
RR: no, the undercarriage covers can be seen just in front of them. And it's not a Messerschmitt but a... derivative.

Its second try for this one.... Last time David ascertained it was American, not a Kinner. It had a 75hp motor..

Guten abend Reg, welcome back
Evening Martin, just stopping work to prepare a meal and couldn't resist a quick look!
I think I spy a pair of handlebars, no tailwheel or skid, just a trestle, so it could well be a tricycle U/C? Therefore, I think it's the Farnam FC-1 Fly-Cycle of 1954 ??
I couldn't find an image with a tail like that, however on looking again I found a postcard that makes sense of your ebay comment!! (I thought you were referring to LM's previous post)
Sorry guys but it'll have to be an Open House if correct, as I'm back to work again soon.
I hope you had a very enjoyable break Reg and that your sleeve is well stocked!!

I am now all with you now , LM, and the rest of the gang. My sleeve is as empty as … you know what.
Looked at the Fly-Cyle tail and it doesn't seem to match, but is still the best shot I can imagine.
