Bromon BR-2000 it is Trevor...well done
The wings on the 3-view do vary depending on where you look. I actually found it in an Observers Book of Aircraft, then went to see if it was on the web. Good article to be found here:
1989 | 0231 | Flight Archive
Sadly the project was cancelled a few months after this article, allegedly due to no firm orders. Not quite the level of interest anticipated by its designers!

Thanks Ken; that link was where I found the drawing (on the next page, where my "one word" was located).
I then had a quick look on Aerofiles and it would have been one of those perfect challenges, with the Bromon entry having no mention at all of this project and only a passing reference to the Ahrens 404 project and that was misspelt!!
I'll put something up shortly (as kitchen duties permit)

'Tiz strange innit! I thought it might be one of those things that once seen, always remembered (if only you could remember where you'd seen it)

Going to leave this one for the nightshift...found what I thought it was in a book, but it's not quite right - the plus is I have now inadvertently found a US aircraft that appears not to be in Aerofiles
Over to Graeme, Brian or anyone else who may be lurking

, but then, it is like your last one!!
I'm 99% sure that Brian posted this some time ago, but I can't find it on Mel's list?
The Argentine Tucan T-1. I remember being fooled by the reflection of the light on the fuselage of the photo seen in Jane's 46 edition.
But then, I'm easily fooled.
Back to the cricket.

'Artnoon Graeme,
It is the Turbay Tucan T-1 
If it's there we've both been fooled, but I can't find it on SC or WC lists either, I did wonder about getting rid of that reflection but was too lazy and wanted my supper 
!!
The Tucan T-1 was an Argentine single-engined single-seat light touring monoplane designed by Alfredo Turbay and built by Sociedad Anonima Sfreddo & Paolini. Here's a later production one sans sliding hood and spats,
Noyade has Control (be teatime soon)

Thanks Trevor.
You misunderstand me mate.
Some time ago (I think) I was looking for THAT tail (I was certain Brian had it as a challenge) and I bypassed this image because the light played with the shape...
That's the only reason why I went back to it. All in my mind? Maybe I should see a gerontologist?
What I am going to see tonight though (fortunately/unfortunately?) is the Tin Tin 3D movie with the youngest son.
?
Open House.

'Artnoon Martin,
Coffee time, I'm out in the workshop at the moment and just keeping an eye on my Challenge really, but I'll be thinking about your SC, a bit quiet innit!
Is it a twin pusher?? First thoughts were for a WWI period bomber, but can't see much in the way of armament!

I hope you have a good 2012 too mate!
Hmm, a tractor eh; so where does the unseen prop relate to the flat front end, is that end a large truncated spinner, or is that the shape of the engine cowl and the prop comes out of the flat part?
As always, I've seen that tail somewhere before
, is it a Yank and is it WWI or soon after?
