I think this deserves a thread of its own. Seen at Popham last Sunday. Been waiting a long time to get some half-decent shots of it. Anyone know what it is & what's unusual about it without looking it up? That would be too easy.








It's in its original factory colours. Not many were built & this is one of only two airworthy examples in the UK, maybe the world. I've seen both parked next to each other at a fly-in some years ago. (There is also one example of a taildragger version which I've yet to see.)

I know what it is!

Hmmmm... let's see:
Once upon a time, a Moth, an Ercoupe, and a Tri-Pacer collided in midair...

LOL Exactly my thoughts. I was going to say a mix between an Ercoupe and a Chippie.

I've even looked on the internet and still cant find an answer!!!

that'll teach me  :D

Comparison with the Ercoupe is appropriate. I would have said Auster rather than Moth or Chippie. Gipsy Major cowlings all look very similar.

Thanks Jacob for not spoiling it.

No idea, although now you say it I can see the Auster similarity.......can't wait to find out, and the shots came out great  ;). 3, 5 and 6 are beauties  8-)

I haven't a clue, but a weird yet good looking little beast!
Good photos.

Nice shots, I have no idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange looking thing. And not the good kind of strange...

There I have to agree with you - for once.

Great Shots, No clue and yes it is odd looking!!

So I looked it up in my mammoth collection of aircraft encyclopedias. Had me stumped, but I found it. I'll wait 'till Ken weighs in on this.

I just looked up the registration

I like my way better. Plus I found one for Flight Sim. I'm eager to take it up.
