We had better stay sharp today - Prune is doing its' random order posts trick again..............:ugh:

Yours American Ken? - it looks it.

I said I was at work and nothing about actually working.:E

A bit difficult to tell, but it looks like a parasol.

Yes American David. Not a parasol though.

Maybe time for a clue Ken.

Had held off on any clues as not seen anyone on line recently (until now). This is a 1950's era homebuild that used wings and tail (squared off) from a well known light aircraft from the late1930's. Just the one built as far as I can see.

Good afternoon Ken,

Pretty sure that's the Adkisson SJ-1 Head Skinner ?? (seems to have aquired some spats though)

A good challenge and a very well chosen photo that by pure chance, completely obscures the "gull-wing" :E ! Looks like they just creased and folded the Luscombe wings :eek: !!

That's the one Trevor:ok:. Yes, the Adkissin SJ-1 Head Skinner. Wings/tail from a Luscombe 8, some other components from Cessna. Apparently inspired by a Polish fighter (according to Wiki)....PZL-24 I guess?

Here's the photo I used:

Your control Sinco TC

Thanks Ken,

I'm in and out of the garden today, but will monitor periodically!

Here's one that looks the part, a design concept that never flew in other than model form. Pretty distinctive wings though, so shouldn't last long!

Wheressa engine?

Or annit got wun!

Evening Mate :)

The engine is at the rear of the fuselage pod and was intended to be a twin cylinder 60hp 4-stroke driving a ducted-fan

You know Charminster.

We're off to dine shortly, so I will have to check out.

Nite for now.

I don't actually; but I presume it is'nt where they always burn the food :) !!

Bon Appétit :ok:

So much for "this should be easy".

I have been searching for hours to no avail.:hmm:

Found lots of other closed/annular aircraft.

Will try now with the ducted fan parameter.:8

Evening skwinty,

The shape you're after is like the romboidal wing and is often described as another shape, for which SA is renowned, think of a company founded by Cecil Rhodes and don't forget it was only a design concept ;)

That's the one mate, the Gibbs White Diamond :D

skwinty has control

Edit to say that I didn't acknowledge the answer before you submitted it :ugh: This post was made at 19:10 and this edit five mins later :confused: !!

Ha! that gave the game away.:ok:
