chazchaz,
You're dad is certainly correct about the wings being very high aspect ratio, but with all due respects, what did RR say above!
and no reason it shouldn't, given the right wing area and loading. You're right in saying that is not an easy one to find!! 
I'm off soon, I wonder if it'll still be here in the morning?

He swoops in from out of the sun!!! Yes, Graeme, the Gerin V-1 Varivol.
The concept led to the V-6E Varivol which is in the Angers Museum.

Well done Graeme,
I'm buggered if I could find that one, another good one RR!!
It's great to see the "Night Shift" back in action
BTW, I see that Graeme asked for Open House if correct.

Thanks Graeme.
Here's one that is not what it seems to be (at least not to me).......
(Sorry about the size of the photo but it is the only one I can find of this aeroplane!)

Key features....many of the controls were above the pilot. Would be a good one for "What Cockpit"....if you can find a picture!
Glad you like my little offering....!
