Graeme, I believe the fuselage is held in storage by the AWM.

I thought Archangelsi or Jermolajev, I was so close.

Here's a new one:



With the appropriate hint:

Thanks Andy, I thought it may have perished as a result of the environment and/or the kindergarten kids!

Very appropriate hint! Redford played Johnny Hooker in "The Sting" (1973), so it must be Sir Stanley Hooker...



Stanley Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Similar process?...



Hint...

Not yet. In fact I wasn't really away yet. But now that my girlfriend's play is on stage in Munich, I will have a little more time. At least she will have, I hope.

Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast.

I know this man. I'm thinking of a young Alec Issigonis, wrong kind of engineer. A young Seversky? Maybe James Jabara? I will have to think about it.

Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint...

Not at all. My mistake. I read about Crossfield in a magazine two weeks ago. I remember when I read that he died in 2006 in a Cessna crash. I even saw the picture in the german Wikipedia! Stupidstupidstupid. I knew I've seen this guy.

But I like we way we give "hints". Makes the old wooden gears in the brain turning a different way.

Yeah, it does look like the A-7, but no, it's not Russian.

A handful were made during WWII. Tugs included the Battle, Wapiti, Dakota and even the Spitfire.
It incorporated components from the DH-84 Dragon.

Three versions...



The cutaway is represented by "C" which was an early postwar experiment with the "suction-wing" concept, hence the V-8 and centrifugal fan.

Hi v2! I would've even accepted "DHA Glider"! Nicely done!

Built in Australia.

The cutaway is a DHA G2 converted to take the "suction" apparatus making it the DHA GLAS II (Griffith Laminar Airfoil Section or Glauert Lighthill Section).
Interesting concept but unfortunately the suction holes kept getting blocked by insects!

de Havilland Australia GLAS II Suction Wing Glider
