Silhouette challenge
Is it in any way related to the Henderson Glenny Gadfly?

Sorry for the delay. Sablatnic, not any relation to the Henderson Glenny Gadfly as far as I understand.

That sounds like a quote from your better half.

It could the Altis from 1932.

An interesting little single seater aircraft built in the Transvaal, South Africa. This machine was built in order to test out, in powered flight, a few of the ideas which the designer gained as the result of gliding and soaring. The particular features referred to, include high-aspect ratio, flexible trailing edges, rotating wing-tip control and single-spar construction.

Thank you, Mel. You are right. It was an interesting plane.

Hi sablatnic. No problem. Just deleted my post as Bradenav posted the answer before me but there was a delay in his post coming on line. The honour rests with Bradenav.
