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

| Thanks Andy, I thought it may have perished as a result of the environment and/or the kindergarten kids! Hi Krabat, back from holidays? 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... |

Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast. Quote:
Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint... Krabat

| 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 |
