The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Should have looked more carefully - my pic looks quite different in character - it is the Aero A-211. I hope our Czech friends will excuse me alluding to them as Balkans.......:banghead:

Yes Lefty she's the Aero 211 and in my clue I wasn't specific enough I should have alluded to a "mitteleuropaeischer landlocked country"...anyway your well deserved turn and sorry for the delay!
Cheers
BG
 
Thanks BG. This one's from a wee country that is NOT landlocked, nor is it anywhere near the Balkans....

hi giruXX:encouragement:
The Mk.1 Utility with inflatable wing built by M.L.Aviation Co.Ltd for the British Aviation Ministry/Royal Army Air Corps.
Now in the Museum of Army Flying, Middle Wallop?
 
This novelty appeared 1989/1990 and she was flown! Development was, however, soon halted.

I hope Uncle Joe put a wheel on the bottom of the cruciform tail before flight testing.

Hi Kevin:encouragement:.
Good question!. Have no clue at all. Maybe the so-called 3-surfaces controls have to do with the t/o behaviour?
In the sketch no tail wheel is visible either.

The 3-surfacer is US by a well-known designer/co-designer, who has several other aircraft (high wing, push/pull, gyrocopter, scaled WW2 replica, pusher/twin boom to give a few) to his name.
 
She is the Nova by Aircraft Designs, Inc. (Mr. Martin Hollman). Designs he was involved in include the Stallion, Starkraft 700, Thunder Mustang, HA-2M gyro, etc.
OH please :jump:
 
This one is a bit elusive...
