Still searching, Ken. However, I've changed my tack a little, not a ruskie. The engines aren't right. Its an elegant machine and shows signs, I think, of being middle-European? Too elegant to be a yank, not rugged enough to be russian. Are those engines Renards?

Was it built, and if so, did it fly, Ken?

I'm wondering if the engines were Menascos.

Thanks for the above Ken.

I am now tempted by Gypsies and a one-off British aircraft.

We're now on a tour of Europe it seems.......
