    And survives to this day ! The Blake Blue Tit. I like the fact that the engine was obtained from Avro, together with another for spares, for the vast sum of £6.

    That's the bird, Mike. Registered 67 years after its first flight! Apparently under restoration near Kington, in Herefordshire - having been acquired from the Shuttleworth Trust when it was selling off the family silver! Over to the land of the wild mountain thyme.

    Search facility not working for me so I'm not sure if this one has floated past here before.....

    Ahh, yes, Carlo, one of the less-well-documented Cant machines.

    Over to you - I hope it is not too hot in Tuscany just now ??

    No it is actually very pleasant…..unfortunately I cannot carry on as I'm right now in hospital (not a very good situation for a Sunday) for a protracted check-up…..please bear with me
    I love you all

    Sorry to hear that, Carlo, but I am sure you are in good hands. Our best wishes to you.

  8. #21058
    Hope your checkup went well Carlo.

    Here is a new mystery in case you are unavailable for a stretch of time. We can fit you back in when you return.

  11. #21061

    hi fabulousfour
    Assuming you refer to the one on the ground, the Miles M-64 (aka as the LR-5) ?

  15. #21065
    It is the Miles M.64.
    A rather fruitless attempt to enter the after-war private market. I wonder if this plane simply came some years to early, the design is not so very different to a Piper Tomahawk.

    Over to Walter

    A light plane that first took the air some 50 years ago.

    Found it eventually, Walter - the Michel 1 built by Ludwig Michel in Brazil. A sort of 3/4 scale single-seat Piper clone. with a 36hp VW motor. Very odd.

    Hi Mike
    Excellent research/investigation. Honestly, I had expected it would take a bit longer. Proficiat.

  19. #21069
    Thank you Walter. Thank you Jane's....

    I was sure this one has been here before, but can't find it - anyway nothing better for the moment.

    Designed by a former Grumman engineer, the Island X-199 Spectra.

    Mike- Impressed you tracked down Walter's craft!

  21. #21071
    Well, Walter kindly left the reg. on - could not track it down on the available lists, but it pointed me in the direction of Brazil. After a lot of fruitless research into various Paulistas, I stumbled on the Michel in Jane's.

  22. #21072
    I must be getting old, didn't really notice the reg until you mentioned it!


    Here is a large amphibian testing the land portion of the program.

    Nipping along very nicely......

    "I stumbled on the Michel in Jane's."

    and apparently may ha barked your shin...

    gotta be careful as you get older.
