Silhouette challenge
Here's a host of them then...
British.
Built by a Headmaster of the "Mexborough Grammar School in Yorkshire".
The pupils helped!
Only one built.
First flew in 1971.
He named it after the Greek word for wood (according to the site).
Made of wood!

What a relief 
LM!
The Shield Xyla is a one off design by Gorge Shield, who was headmaster of Mexborough Grammar School in Yorkshire. It was built at the school, which shows a level of trust in the pupils which would be hard to find these days! It first flew in October 1971. Powered by a 65hp Continental engine, it cruises at 110mph and has a range of 500 miles.
And Xylitol is a sugar from birch tree, used to fight caries.

Good night.
Reg, I'm getting some corrugated iron delivered at 0800 hrs and I should be outside to meet the truck so I'll leave this with you and check the progress later today...
