Name that Flying Machine
"I cannot specify the engine."
But its a glider ... no?

Sorry bear, I was just trying to help A56 with his research but obviously too much information! That 2300nm tow across to Ontario must have been interesting, presumably releasing the glider when stopping to fuel the (DC3?) tug then hooking up again?
Out and about for the weekend so open house…

yes there was no sign of an engine in either of the two pictures Bear posted so I guessed it was some sort of glider.... all news to me tho'..................
Here's one I had never heard of until I stumbled on it today:
now that is ugly - another glider?
Blohm & Voss BV 40.
German fighter/glider with prone pilot and twin 30mm cannon. Only 7 built.
In a dive it could apparently exceed 500mph - yes and it's a glider!!
That's another one which I remember from the days of 'RAF Flying Review' back in the late'50s/early '60s. (I do keep some garbage in my head don't I?)
OH if correct.

While we are waiting:
chevvron, that is true, but while I was burning the midnight oil when I posted, I was asleep when the 24 hour deadline passed! I’m at UTC-6.
Yes, the BV 40. The shape seems completely at variance with the idea of a 500 mph prone-pilot glider!
chevvron has control. Sorry to have kept you waiting.

It was indeed a Miles Student.
I propose that any future challenge should only be answered by someone who is prepared to contribute a challenge of their own, unless that's being a bit too demanding?
