Yes from some angles she has that air about her, & she lives a lot nearer you than it does me! She is at the Real Aeroplane Company, Breighton.
Only two ever made, the first was owned by Alex Henshaw from which he had to bale out of when it caught fire! The MkII had some differences. I remember seeing her for the first time at Fairoaks in the late '50's when I was learning to fly there; she had broken an undercart strut on landing I think & I was surprised to see she has a large dia tubular spar on the lower (sesquiplane) wing.
Dave; yes polished brass in the cockpit, more wingfold problems maybe, although she does seem to have been inhibited from folding in some photos.
I am also thinking I might be brave & make her FSX native.....but don't hold your breath on that score!!!
