Martin,

There were five aeroplanes posted on 25 May 2010 and the Boyero isn't one of them.

Karlark,

Despite it's appearance this looks like a glider.

Two demonstrators were built, however the production order was canceled due to shortage of materials.

Well, at some point during WW2 the stuff was becoming scarce in the USA, and Beech were working on a plywood bomber trainer.

However, I can find little else.

Very close LM. Wartime USA but not Beech or a bomber trainer.

Well known manufacturer of small piston aircraft and business jets.

Cessna C-106 perhaps?

Open house if correct please, as I need to get to grips with Photoshop if I'm to play nicely!

Good call Karl, yes it's the Chudzic CC-02 homebuild from France Plenty of photo's on the web if you Google it, and I think "cool" pretty much sums it up
