Was it Galland in the anecdote about ......
I think that is true.

Was that a British project then?

Was it some kind of small troop/cargo carrier?

Sorry, was thinking that this would be good chill-out for Graeme's evening.

If you want, I can scrap it.

Edit: OK, I'll scrap it.

He left us ages ago mate!

Good evening HP.



I note that my new thread has had 29 viewings and no reponses.

That might answer some questions.

Evening.
Been on 'nuther thread since now...

I've already seen this one, but I don't think I feel like browsing through all the samolotys now...

29 viewings and no reponses.
Give 'em time mate, give 'em time...

Btw, remarkably similar to the Blackburn A.D. Scout/Sparrow, any ties?
Edit: I guess none...

Is there a canard Mate? And does it have anything vertical in the tail?

I am stuck. Probably outside the mainstream countries.

Somehow it is unclear to me (see my above port) if there is a canard and how the tail looks like. I cannot see anything vertical there…..

How about a small friendly clue, Mate?

Funny, when I giggled "sweep wing microlight aircraft", I got on page three the thingy with floaters that we fervently searched earlier today.

sabredog,

Since I did not confirm the winner, all subsequent challenge posts are invalid.

Therefore I can now confirm that it is Open House and the only valid challenges are after this post.

HP - you should know better mate.
