HP, I took a look at your interesting site and will add this: The challenge is not roadable by the definition apparently used in your site (it is not mentioned there). But there is a road aspect to its design .

Edit: Good morning RR and skytrain .

Morning RD. This one is proving elusive. The usual Aerofiles searches do not seem to have got me anywhere. Plenty of "pusher's" without photo's but after research none seem to match the challenge At least am at home today so not tied to coffee breaks!

There are a couple of pictures elsewhere, and text enough to Giggle - both in Aerofiles and elsewhere…

Truly funny: I Giggled some of its features and got almost identical looking aircraft, only 30 years younger.

Morning all.

I agree with Ken.

Can't get Aerofiles search to work at all. Anyone know the secret?

Morning Mate

Search Aerofiles via Giggle by typing the search string and then 'site:aerofiles.com'

We have had another (one of the total of two) from the same builder as a challenge before.

Although the undercarriage looks fixed is it retractable? Just wondering if this is an amphibian?

'direction amphibian site:aerofiles.com'

And then, just for the kicks of it, Giggle 'icon a5' and go to Images.
