Thanks Noyade. An interesting aircraft that I had never heard of.

How about this one?

I actually heard about this one in about 1961 in the pages of 'RAF Flying Review' before it became 'Flying Review International'. The photo it showed gave the impression it was the same size as a B29 especially with the 'glasshouse' nose.

Parker Teenie Two

As in Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie, my clue earlier?

Canopy is totally different; picture shown is a one piece blown bubble canopy whereas the illustration in Wiki shows a canopy in at least 3 sections, one of which is hinged to open.

Well, N62307 is a homebuilt called a Froheling. Clearly not the same aircraft (or not in the same configuration) as the original pic though though there are similarities.
I've found nothing on the internet about it apart from its FAA registration details sheet and no model name is given.

There are all sorts of pics different final builds as far as I can see - I think this was from the days when you got the plans and did what you damned well liked - not the modern "airfix" build type of homebuilt - I will confirm tomorrow

I certainly found pics of the Parker Teenie Two that fit the tail pic perfectly but none with the low-back and bubble canopy though that feature is mentioned in passing.
What surprised me was the 'quality' (or lack of it) in some of the tinwork depicted. Clearly it was intended as stated for construction by non-aircraft buiding and non metalwork experienced DIYers with domestic tools. Seems some of them took all that a bit more literally than makes me feel confortable!

Its a Parker Teenie Two so Beagle has control

The bubble canopy is one in Croatia - everyone looks different as far as I can see. I understand the plans cost USD 1000 back in the late '60's.
