The Canadair projects appeared in issue No.68.
You may well be correct mate, but why is the web returning no images for it when Graeme said it's there.............?
Strange Boeing 747 - Aircraft of World War II - Warbird Forums
So for the time being I'm sticking with the CL-99.
Always stick with your gut instinct! Your Control.
Cheers,
Graeme.

Cheers Graeme....for some reason I didn't look in WW2 forums! Mind you nice to see a picture of the "Casino Royale" 747, which used to belong to the company I worked for upto a couple of years ago!
Time to go back in time:

Not the GL.50 mustpost, and not from France.
For those wondering why I have posted this, mustpost had posted a reply, then I guess, withdrawn it. Anyway, you all know its not French now!

Hi all.
Just come ou to play.
I've got fifteen Letovs in a book in front of me, and none fit.
Mmmm......no wing or strut stagger, no dihedral, same span on upper and lower wings, and what appears to be an inline 4 engine.......

Not French but how about Belgian? I 'm certain that we can eliminate the Germans in this because it just doesn't seem to have their style about it. So, my latest shot is at the Belgians..... warm... even "ish"? RR

Not an Aero mustpost, and not Czech.
Although information is a little unclear it would seem this was the first factory produced indigenous aircraft to be built in this country, albeit there were other privately produced aircraft prior to WW1 as well as foreign assembled machines. The same manufacturer also produced this countries first aero engine in the same year that this aircraft was built (they obviously did not trust the combination of their own aircraft and engine combination in one machine!).
