Nice one, Ridge Runner, I'm learning everyday on this forum.

Google got it, I just pressed the keys...

I should have taken up Lightning Mate's offer to black this out, but I guess you lot are waiting with bated breath, so here's the next one. Good Luck, Mechta

Lightning Mate, I assumed you might have other things to do. I must tell SWMBO that I'm not the only one on here 20 hours a day! Next one will definitely be sent for your treatment. Cheers, Mechta

Well Done Skytrain10, I'm impressed

Built in Dunstable 1935/36, Scrapped at Blackbushe 1951. Offered for sale September 1937 for £50 including trailer!


Dart Aircraft, Ltd., of 29, High Street North, Dunstable.
Beds, already known to readers of Flight, tor their intriguing
little Pup pusher monoplane, have constructed two more
single-seater models.
One, christened the Flittermouse (a bat, of course), is a
pusher design with a lighter wing loading than the Pup, the
actual figures being 6.38 lb./sq. ft. and 3.9 lb./sq. ft.
The first -engine to be installed in the prototype Flittermouse
will be a 25 h.p. Scott. Data are: Span 40 ft. 5 in., length
22 ft. 5 in., height 5 ft. 2 in., weight loaded 640 lb., maximum
speed 64 m.p.h

Looks a sort of agricultural version of the Antonov AN-14M.
In the plan view it looks as if its still on its Airfix stand....

Hi Mechta, not an AN-14 adaption. Never really noticed the "stand", but now you mention it....! And its not Airfix (or Revell come to that!).

Sorry EvansB, not a Harbin design.

HD, you are in the right area, but its not a Bolkow (or MBB) design.
