Looks a bit like an early side-step of the grandfather of Seawind 300C...

It does rather, but there's no connection!

Other than they were both designed to fly and get wet!

Thanks David!

As it turns out the copy I need is not here. I know it was in a COIN special edition of Flying Review. It was a competitor from the US for a COIN contest and was an amphibian.... more than that I can't remember!

Still searching though!

Like Graeme, I'm going to drop a clue now as I need to go fairly soon.

Keeping on the "dirty bugger" theme; The manufacturer puts me in mind of 1095 used prophylactics in 365 days, and that would only be tiring in the USA!!

Oh well, Posts crossed, a wasted clue I see!

Well done Ton, The Goodyear GA-39 "Amphibious Fighter" contestant for the LARA/COIN competition.

You have Control

North American springs to mind???
Wasn't North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco the one that was selected in the VARA/COIN competition where Goodyear GA-39 "Amphibious Fighter" was a contestant?

Edited: Addressed to RR, whom I quote

Edit 2: Of course, LARA, but how do you press cmd-v for pasting if your hands tremble?

Mornin' Graeme!

Has this machine got a prop or is it a jet? A Formula One machine?

G'day Martin!

Prop at the front. I was going to draw some "prop whirling" lines, but didn't want it to look amateurish....LOL.

A Formula One machine?
No mate. Intended to be a homebuilt but only one made. Max speed around 180 mph. Volkswagen engine.
Length is only 16 ft 8 in.

G'day mate.

Is it the Fletcher EOS 001?

Aimed at me again I presume.
