I'd like to say yes; but as I said, I'm off now, got to some shopping on the way and then set up my Wifi etc and we all know what problems that can be. So with that in mind I'd better say no right now, sorry!

Nice card BTW

Forget the name, but this was designed as a flying advertising hoarding !!

mid seventies ??

Lots of pretty lights down the truss.

Did not Slingsby have something to do with the build ?

Yes, Slingsby had the contract to built it (it really did get that far )- but it was destroyed part-built in their factory fire late 1968. Its statistics included 2000 ft of aluminium tubing , 40 miles of wiring and 3500 light bulbs. The two front Continentals were for propulsion , the rear one for power for the electrics....and it was an amphibian !

And the name was.................

( Although I am inclined to give Diesel Addict control anyway)

Good evening all,

I have returned with a working connection at last!!

I believe one11's contraption was called the Cameo V-Liner, but in all fairness, I agree diesel addict deserves to win it!

Edited again to say that I see he has got it as Reg has confirmed and it was a c not an e that is Camco!!

Just so there is doubt. Diesel Addict has correctly named the Camco V-Liner, was offered control but has declared OH.

Hi RegDep,

Not an ASK14, this one is a pure glider. That's not a spinner of the front its just the way the silhouetting came out.

Hi Reg Dep

Not the Ka 6 either. Before I send you round the bend, I should add that the prototype, which was the only one that flew, had an open cockpit. THis is from the manufacturer's literature for the production variant.
