Well here's a clue anyway - EKRANOPLAN.

edit: I have a very early start tomorrow so I'm logging off - the usual rules apply.

Hopefully over to Canada and Australia.................

Morning Martin.

The image is on the web, and there is a video of it on u-tube.

Please standby and I'll post the original photo plus another one - is it's still a problem I'll reveal it this morning.

First pic:



It's called Ektranoplan ***********24

A winner.

There is no rule which says a win on clues means an OH mate.

Afternoon....an LSA I guess David and quite possibly a brand new design? Save for the tail and nose gear it's not unlike the Jabiru J400 range. I doubt there is a connection though, so on the process of elimination, would this be a European design?
