All spotted the sole example of the CAC CA-15, which apparently was not copied from the Mustang, and was designed initially as a beefed up Boomerang. Engine shortages led to design changes, and when CAC realised that it was redundant, they kept working on it just to keep their hand in.

Thanks for playing.
Next one will be done after some urgent errands in town.

A trio of champs this week
PeteP, Mick (woody901), and Ben (TSR2) earned diamond badges for naming the Humber-Sommer, and saying that it was the first aircraft to carry airmail.
Well done.
My book tells me that it was based on the Farman III, which itself was based on the Voisin.

Thanks to all who looked.
