Have to go for 45 minutes - sorry.

I'll put my light off so there's no confusion.

(some people are easily confused)

G'day Ken. I too looked at it but dismissed the idea because the nose wasn't "squarish" in shape.

If it's British (civil) it must be in A.J Jackson's biblical tome? But I can't find it.

It does, but I'm still looking....the nose in the silhouette is very square, and wing leading edge doesn't look right. Besides which I've already found 4 photos...5 including yours!

No. "Gottingen thick aerofoils which tapered in thickness and chord from root to tip".

Yes, I know it's been done before, but it looks much different as a pure silhouette.

Still, it's got the day moving.

An Open House has been requested. Must go again.
