Late 70s.

Not a prototype, but only two or maybe more made.

Not British.

Kit.

With many people isolating themselves I'm surprised there have been few questions.

American
single seat
supplied as a kit which is no longer available
first registered 1978
two registered with the FAA - both registrations later cancelled
probably no examples exist today

You mean like the Dabos-Masclet JDM Roitelet on the Flying Machine thread ?

Fair point.
I'm annoyed that Asturias has posted something tricky on Which Aerodrome - can't get a handle on it whatsoever.

Also, a bit of cabin fever.

Thank God the Gov in it's wisdom had seen fit to classify Off-Licences as Essential Supplies.

I did an google aimed at aerofiles:
aerofiles 1978 = 1pClwM POP: 2 kit
but this one is not listed in Aerofiles and came up from Wikipedia.

Blimey, certainly have seen a photo of that in the past but would never have got the name! I was just looking at the Google library in old copies of Flying....

If you can proof type tyres and profile thickness as used during this flight I will hand out the bonus points again!
