I've got a feeling one of those visited the PFA at Cranfield one year in the 80s/90s, I'm sure I recall something very similar.

Manned or un-manned?

It can carry two occupants, a manned type.

gives Falconar Golden Hawk or it’s predecessor American Aerolights Falcon |
If I have, I'm glad to have provided inspiration!

Right, as I'm unable to find a link between the subject aircraft and the American Aerolights Falcon, but seeing as they're terribly similar in configuration and several small details, Self loading bear has control. I'm pretty sure that this is a further derivative from that first design, but cannot confirm it.
The subject aircraft is registered as an AERO FALCON INTERNATIONAL INC - KNIGHT FALCON. I can find only two of these in the FAA database, both deregistered. The photo was taken by me at the Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth. https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinq...umbertxt=401ES https://www.airport-data.com/aircraf...001053835.html Any additional information is welcome, as I'm curious too by now! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....18cefd0df8.jpg The only clues on the photo are the registration and 'Knight Falcon' just underneath the transparency. |

Pics of the Cranfield visitor G-BUYF in 1994: Registered as a Harris RW Falcon XP ex N512AA... American Aerolights was the plans or kit supplier. I flew in to the PFA that year and didn't stay more than two or three hours which was a rush :p but memory says it may have been there with its US reg a year or two earlier. https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/registration/G-BUYF |
Thanks Jelle,
I am not able to find the missing link between the two. Indeed a bit curious. Lets continue with: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2812c1ba9.jpeg |
That would be the Eklund TE-1.

Thanks! Let's see how long this one will last:

Perhaps a clue might help to ease this thread out of stasis?
|
I'll start with 'look to the east' and will try to answer questions then.
|
Norwich or China?
|
Norwich is west of your location, if your profile is correct.... ;) Further East than the UK/France/Netherlands. China is too far (please make a u-turn...).
