    That is the one Naki!
    I wonder whether this aircraft still exists?

    Controls over to Naki.

    I believe the Yeoman still exists and is in storage somewhere in NZ....

    Finally found a picture of the aircraft I wanted to plop in here...

    Darn ..too easy!

    Not sure if it is easy or not. Just happened to know that one readily.

    Here is a rare one...

    Here is a side view. Part of the rear lower fuselage looks missing due to the damaged photo. This one was designed for a particular purpose...

    Three names pop into my head. A little bit o' Blackburn, a little bit o' Westland, a lot of Fokker.....and one BIG mystery. The front view appears to have what I think are 4 wind driven generators on the sides of the fuselage. I can't make out what is mounted diagonally on the left side behind the cabin door. Almost looks like it might be some kind of antenna? I'm probably WAAAAY off.

    Was it designed for mine detection or possibly ASW??

    Good eye on the wind generators. This was actually designed for crop spraying duty- especially bananas. No Blackburn, Westland or Fokker influences. One built.

    I figured out the cropduster rig but then hit a wall. The only reference I couldn't get to was a reported "Tebaldi-Zari" ( or Breda) design but I can't find any details

    Something created by Desmond Norton (Of Britten-Norman fame) maybe? I know he designed several undocumented models....still looking for details.

    The Tebaldi-Zari design was posted on here by me about a month or two ago. It's a sesquiplane from 1919 (obviously not Kevin's bird).

    It's from the USA.

    Okay, a modified Bach 3-CT-6 used by the United Fruit company in Honduras (1933).
