Eagle 150?

Sorry, no.

Although ...

Bit of a guess, but perhaps it is the Eagle 150's prototype, the Eagle XTS?

Or the Eagle 150B? :E

Sure looks like a canard there.

It's not the Eagle (any version) but they are somehow related

Quickie Q2?

Not a Quickie, but you are looking in the right direction.

The Dragonfly.

The Dragonfly it is indeed

It is one of the two-seater derivatives of the Rutan Quickie

You have control

Thank you. Here is the next 'What cockpit?'

De-Havilland dash-7? Open house if I'm right as I don't have any of my slides converted over.

ICT_SLB is correct.:ok: As he said, open house.

Okay, try this challenge....

Blimey, gotta be worth a 'Golden Mel'. Can't decide whether its rotary wing or a pod and boom with pusher engine at the back of the pod. The wings seem to be missing. Either way looking at the rest of the structure it seems quite flimsy. 2? blokes in the front maybe.

It was definitely an obscure aircraft built and tested almost 50 years ago. It was designed as an executive aircraft, but was not a rotary-wing. There were two models tested. This picture shows the first model. The second model had a longer nose, among other things. Despite flight and wind-tunnel testing, neither model went into production.

Kitbag is correct about a pusher prop at the rear of the fuselage (which had, in an earlier life, been a basic light aircraft in its own right).

Because the wings are missing in this picture, it seems fair to briefly describe them. Let's just say the wings were unusually shaped and fitted with specialised high-lift devices.

[Edit to respond to Kitbag's estimate of crew]
Only two seats in this prototype but production models would have been more commodious.

Please check pms

Is it Lycoming engined?

Yes, it is, Windriver. An O-540 Lycoming six, to be precise.
And a busy Lycoming it was, too, in this particular application.
