That was very quick, Noyade. The Jet Mentor - I had never heard of it before.



The gear doors and the fin clearly suggest the Beechcraft heritage.

Noyade has control.

The commentary only says "150", and in an effort to retain some grip on reality, I interpreted that as 150 kph, which would be ambitious but not a ludicrous claim. But everything else is fully imperialised, so I guess not. But I do like the ending of the commentary, as the definitive comment on the flying car: "One step closer to the submarine that climbs trees."

I can see why you might think that but this is older

I immediately wondered if it was the AG-1, the forerunner of the Pawnee, but the landing gear is wrong.

I'll give it to Noyade as a Cal -air - they built a few of several types and I'm concerned that not all the photos I have are correctly labelled. Could get very messy
