but you are in the right place
.Starting to lose steam (pooh). Is there a picture in the Aerofiles? And is the engine a Lyco?

That's right Ken it is the time, but I wasn't going to mention it)!!
I will mention the Wickham B of 1967 though, (sorry Reg)
Have to be an Open House I'm afraid, as it's back to work now
. I hope my home connection works tonight, tried everything last night and it wouldn't stay connected for more than a few seconds!

Of course you're right Trevor. It is the Wickham B from 1967. A one off machine, still flying today (and I have seen it in the flesh, so to speak). Good research and well done 
.
I don't know if the subtle clues assisted you, but it kept me amused anyway - the designer is from Seattle, home of a well known coffee company!
SincoTC has control.
Whoops, correction, its Open House

Thanks Ken, I didn't pick up on the "Coffee" clues, just trying different search criteria on AF, drew a blank at lunch, but as LM said, it was a matter of choosing the right words just now!
Sorry about that again Reg, I tried not to stomp too loud!!!
Edit: He's a true gent Ken, I'm sure he'll be back soon, anyway, wasn't I just proving another one of his predictions dead right!!
Shame I have to go now too

Reg wasn't the only one working on it - I agree with him!!!!
Excellent challenge.
I've got one which is even worse, with almost no information on it except a picture.
I will not post it therefore. Going home - bye.

Not sulking skytrain, TC and Mate . Just went for groceries.
Need to backtrack and see what would have been the correct search string. Called a Lessons Learned Session (although some call it post-mortem
).
Great challenge. Looked so trivial, which doubles the frustration.
Edit: Now that I know what it is, I get it with exactly those words that I tried before. I'd make a good journalist. Perfect 20/20 hindsight.

Glad you liked the challenge! I found it whilst going through some photo's that I took during one of my visits to Oshkosh.
That sounds interesting David, so why not post it?
Anyone going to take up the OH.....Reg?
