Finland, look above.
Sorry, time stamp problem. I had the same thing with a Greek PPRuNer in the morning. Apparently there is a server somewhere whose clock goes wrong.
My responses show earlier than the posts I am responding to. I was responding to your #1670.
Found it from another thread, your post 30th July 2010, 15:25.

Not British.
This was as much an one-off aircraft as they can get: One number one man designed it, flew it only once, sold it to another number one man who didn't fly it at all.

Whoops, I have scared out everybody else than Brian….
A further clue for lurkers: The wing and tail design was reused in another aeroplane type later, and several of them flew.

You say "...not British" but the design is similar to the Dart Pup as well as an Airspeed design built for WS Shackelton in the 1930s. It is not unlike the Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior. Presently considering a German design.. Scratch that, looks like the Siebel Si-201's tail is different than the mystery ship.
