Well I was there every day but I don't remember it! Did it fly in the display? I never kept my display programmes unfortunately even though I wrote them.

[treadigraph]

Would have been about 1980. Don't recall if it flew.

No - but reasonably close!

'Reasonably close' as in Boulton and Paul P111?

I can't comment right now ............................

I took 'reasonably close' to mean similar in configuration ie tailess but with a fin and rudder; looked at the AW52 but those both had tandem seating, then I found a picture showing the distinctive shape of the nosewheel door like the one you posted.

twiddling thumbs until 13:04...........

[Asturias56]

Chevvron has it - the Boulton Paul P111 - came ibn various shapes as they modded it over the years

[meleagertoo]

May I assume OH to revive the thread?
Doubtless this ghastly mistake won't last minutes (it doesn't deserve to) but what the hey?

[chevvron]

Dragon Rapide.

[CoodaShooda]

Messerschmitt ME410?

[meleagertoo]

No and no.
Surely no-one regards either of those a "ghastly mistake"?
Racy lines though, isn't it?

[chevvron]

GAL Monospar then?

[meleagertoo]

Not a monospar though the resemblance is certainly there.
Oddly enough it must have had spar problems, it suffered from wings that flexed...

[chevvron]

Meteor T7?

[meleagertoo]

Not a meatbox.

[Asturias56]

looks like tail dragger from the angle of the cockpit line

[meleagertoo]

Certainly a tail-dragger.

Chevvron, please?
