As I'm home and still awake at this ungodly hour...



At least as the hour is so indecent, my challenge may last a few hours... unless the West Coast Mafia are on-line!

PS Bri, wasn't Bill Lear involved in the P1604 project? His development of the Lear Jet certainly began in Switzerland as I recall.

PPS KK, condolences, hope you are feeling much more comfortable very quickly...

PPPS sorry about the wing flutter, the scan speed obviously exceeded VNE..

treadigraph's challenge

chiglet, I thought the Blackburn B2 had a Gypsy Major in-line engine. I would say treadigraph's aircraft is a Robinson Redwing II with the Genet five cylinder radial.

Thanks treadigraph, I think judging by your 3-view drawing we read the same books.
Here is a nice easy one

I think chiglet is on the right lines, it looks like the Martin Baker MB2 to me.

If correct the honours go to chiglet as he got closest first.
