Looks like an unsuccessful candidate for the Q planes trials during the Vietnam war.

Well, it is not in my "JANE'S POCKET BOOK OF LIGHT AIRCRAFT" so I'm giving up looking any further.

Good Day to you Graeme. Hope you are well. It is most certainly the ANT-44 . You did not fall for the old missing inner engine trick. You have control.

Evening Mel. All good thanks, hope life is also treating you well.

You did not fall for the old missing inner engine trick.
Actually mate, I did. You'd be ashamed of me if I told you some of the machines I thought it was! .
I didn't see this on your list....

Looks like a radial engine version of the Bristol M.R.1 but I cannot find any evidence if they produced such a bird.

However, forget that as it must be the ugly Armstrong-Whitworth Wolf.

List updated up to and including 31 July 2013

List updated today up to and including 31 July 2013. Unfortunately the Mods in their wisdom have decided that this thread should no longer be a "Sticky". I will endeavour to try to keep it on the same page.

It is Mel. I'm sorry for the delay mate - I seem to have trouble staying on my bicycle lately! Fell off on Wednesday and only got home today post-theatre. Typing is tough.

Thanks for being patient with the patient! Your control!

Cheers
Graeme.

As Trevor says in response to Graeme's photograph "Ouch" . Perhaps you should put those stabilizers back on you Bike Graeme.

Rather than hold the show up I will have to declare Open House at present. If no-one comes forward will post one later.
