Yes, you got it. I saw it parked up at Canberra in the 70's and have never quite forgotten it. Pity it never got off the ground, it would be a brave pilot to fly it.

So over to you.

Thanks Brian - but my Image Host seems to have up and died?

Free image hosting

In the meantime - Open House. Maybe semmern has something for us?

Ahhh...wingtip to wingtip.

FICON project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea was tested at Wright Field in the late 1940s using a Douglas C-47A Skytrain and Culver Q-14B Cadet.

This one appears to have tandem main wheels, or just a single one, the Jag has side-by-side. Hmmm..back into the think tank.
