something a bit earlier.....sorry,doesn`t want to open directly....

That's no aeroplane surely.
A boat ? |
A Packard-Merlin Powered hydroplane ?
|
A small aeroplane,and the engine produced about 1/40 power of a Merlin....
|
Oh. Homebuilt microlight I assume.
Something silly like the WeeBee ? |
Designed and built 1928-30...with unique features...
|
That's put me off the scent because I was working on the idea of a prone-position pilot.
|
Well ,the seat was reclined about 30*.

I was looking at the half yoke controls. High g experimental ? |
No..it was/is stressed for 4g design,but non-aero....
|
The thot plickens.
Ignoring the g aspect, American experimental ? Just had a thunk - was it made by Lachassagne ? |
UK designed,built,flown,latterly under restoration....

If so it could be a Henderson-Glenny Gadfly II ?? The engine seems about the right size and seat looks raked back on the side-view drawings! |
I was looking for cockpit photos of the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl series when I found this: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....557f7ee09.jpeg Granger Archaeopteryx? |

Here you go ,11/4/`77... at a well-known airfield.....be very careful SLB, your solo..... |
I posted the same pic just before you Sinco. PM for you btw.
|
Thanks Sycamore I do not recognize the airfield so you can post that one on the other thread So I have beaten the UKkies on their own turf? How about this: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4d96ad7a0.jpeg If not found tonight, I will probably not be able to answer before Monday evening. Succes! SLB |
The yokes suggest Stratoliner..
