Do you mean the designer person or the company?
The designer and the manufacturer are the same - although in one source the spelling of the name is slightly different, ending with an A instead of an S

More clues....
- powered by a Dnepr M-72 Motorcycle engine
- built in 1961
This manufacturer has produced a whole range of homebuilt/amateur build aircraft, the latest of which flew for the first time in 2009.

Morning all

Just back from a hectic business trip and gonna be pretty busy for a while yet, but will try and get on-line where possible.

Nice clues Ken, It seems to be the Vladas Kensgaila. VK-4 "Žuvėdra" (Aka Kensgailos Seagull)

Open house please if correct, as I've got to go and get some provisions in as the cupboard is bare (and a very short sleeve too )!

Welcome back Trevor - hope it was a productive trip. Yes it is of course the Vladas Kensgaila (Kensgailos) VK-4 "Žuvėdra" David may recall guessing the latest aircraft from Mr Kensgailos a few months ago, the VK-9

SincoTC has declared Open House

Thanks Ken,

It was at rather short notice, but a good trip!

Just got back in from the shops, but have to out again soon, but as it seems quiet I'll take back my OH to keep things moving; not really a proper silhouette, but all I have at the moment!

Nice to see you back TC.

Good morning/evening all.

Not had much time available until now, and I have no internet/computer problems.

Are you dried out yet Graeme (and is Mrs. Noyade talking to you again?).

A straightforward one for a change........

Harrow David, how are ya?
Are you dried out yet Graeme
All good at home thanks. Washing machine and laundry tub installed and pipe repaired. Unfortunately I can't fix my PC - internet pages are loading at glacial speed. Thought it may be a virus/bug thingy and did a system recovery back to factory settings, but once reconnected to the net, the speed of a snail continues.

Anyway, I think yours is the Handley Page HP.31 Harrow II...?

Sorry, must be OPEN HOUSE till I sort it out and I'm, heading to work shortly. Cheers.

G'day mate.

(Getting excited about the Olympics? Or not your cup of tea?)
It certainly isn't, especially considering the cost!

Glad to hear the house is sorted, but why are you still having electronic problems?

Good call on the Harrow.

Graeme has called Open House.
