I think that your challenge is the Hants and Sussex Aviation Herald ?
. Better known for contract work than aircraft production, Hants and Sussex Aviation designed this one-off ultralight which first flew in 1953, and due to disappointing performance, was scrapped in 1955

Thanks Ken,
It does look rather primitive in the flesh doesn't it
!
I haven't got much time or the software to give a nice silhouette, so this is a bit primitive too

Evening Trevor.
British? Three engines?
I was thinking Wesland Wessex but the tail is wrong. Maybe it changed with modifications? Google just wants to show the chopper.

G'day Graeme,
You got work today mate; I thought this one would be right up your street, bound to be in one of your books!
Three engines yes, but not British. It's very similar (in appearance) to one that we've had before and I think you posted it and I got it!

Afternoon shift today mate.
Lasco Lascondor. Just rolls off your tongue. Keep forgetting we made some aircraft...
VH-UMY
(The first AviaQuiz image for 2012 appears my time around 1100 hrs. Never happened before. American time?)

Like I said mate, right up your street (well, Melbourne's not that far away)
It is the Larkin Aircraft Supply Co (Lasco) Lacondor
It bore a remarkable similarity to the Kreutzer K-5 Air Coach which was developed about the same time.
It was claimed to be the first multi-engined aircraft designed and built in the Southern Hemisphere
Noyade has control

De Lackner
The de Lackner DH-5 Aerocycle. A development of the DH-4. Lots of variations.
De Lackner DH-4 "Heli-Vector" / HZ-1 "Aerocycle" helicopter - development history, photos, technical data
Your control again Trevor.

No takers... the aircraft was a one-off European racer of the 1960's, designed by an air racing pilot. It is still in existance today. Some pictures show it without wheel spats.
