Not Ultravia David.
No, but you mentioned the 90's?
I did, but the Druine Turbulent is in the 2007 edition....they were around in the 60's!
To be clear, this aircraft is still available.

Edit to say, David, I feel Graeme has an unfair advantage here, providing of course he can find it! To try to even the odds, first flew in 1994.

Well, I have a list of all Canadian distributors/manufacturers of kit/homebuilt aircraft and nothing's coming up.

It's back to that sharp slope to the rear of the cabin again, which must be a clue. Does it also come as a trike?

Are we looking at Quebec?

I'll sit back and watch Graeme.

I know the feeling mate. We've had all the pledges here of fast internet in rural areas, but the reality is it will never happen simply because of the costs

Another 1-view!

No, a European design.

If they can't sort out Bournemouth area (must be 500k population including Poole, Christchurch etc) we definitely don't stand much chance!

Looks like an early Punnett silhouette?
From the 60's?
