Just a wee wind-up. I know it's name and history but I'm looking for a better picture (or even a 3-view) of this oddball. Anyone care to guess what it is?   I'll put up the info I have later, if anyone is interested. Leyland |

I like the nifty idea of using wing-nuts to secure the shrouding around the engine....very aeronautical.  As for the natty hat with the coat and tie....the picture of sartorial elegance.  It's the Gnosspelius Gull, I think. Bruce. |

Might have guessed you would be the one, Bruce - congrats on the breadth of your knowledge! Here are the texts that accompanied the photos main picture:  and picture with pilot:  I suppose this means nobody does have a 3-view or better picture? Leyland |

Leyland,
The congrats were not earned......although I'd seen a pic of the aircraft before (in a book or magazine, some years ago), I couldn't remember what it was, so I Googled the registration.
I have looked through what written references I have and can't find anything, I'm sorry.
Regards,
Bruce
