G'day Simon. Thanks for that.

Probably the Ball-Bartoe JW-1 Jetwing?

Cricklewood I would say.
I know what it is but I won't reveal it now as it was only posted 2 hours ago and i'm supposed to wait 24 hours aren't I?

Hang on, does the 24 hr rule apply here or is it just for 'Which Aerodrome'?

Thanks for the inspiration- I have always wondered about, but never actually bothered until now to find the source of the aircraft’s name.

Yes 24-hour rules applies to all 3 “quiz” threads.
However officially, it applies only to the poster of the challenge, who is only allowed to confirm the answer after 24-hours.
But when the correct answer is already given a lot of other readers are put-off to search themselves. So usually I let the challenge “ripe” for 24-hours as well. Perhaps adding a hint myself, like you pointed to Cricklewood.
