A friend of mine in Wales U.K. is trying to find out what was the name of a twin boom aircraft. It has a pusher prop that he thinks is a ducted fan. It seats two passengers in a side by side configuraton on a Bell helicopter like cockpit. He thinks it might be an ultra light. I don't think so since the plane appeared on flight simulator before the Ultra Lights became plentiful.
Does anybody remember this strange aircraft?

I was just thinking that I would like to recreate this flight again: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?79954-Tour-Around-Isle-of-Man

One of the best freeware planes ever produced, but the same can be said for so many of Craig Richardson's productions. I've always been interested in this aircraft ever since coming to know the one that is based/flown here in Minnesota, N130DP - one of only two that are registered here in the U.S. (the other is located in Florida). Conversely, there are only three registered in the U.K.

For those living in the U.K., you may have seen the Edgley Optica G-BOPO flying this past weekend, as it was flown to and displayed at last weekend's Shuttleworth show at Old Warden (having traveled together with the fantastic Travel Air Mystery Ship G-TATR).
 
Thank you guys. I knew somebody would remember it. At my age I have to remember who I am.
A nice looking but weird aircraft.
