Hi Joe,
Is there any more info on this aircraft?
Was it a racer?
Interesting airscrew, it almost looks like its reversable.
And the shrouded exhausts and elongated hood are interesting too.


Google is your friend.

Useful site, but the English needs a bit of polishing, just like the
aircraft. The perils of machine translation?

I am the reincarnation of N.17, having been born on the day she was
scrapped (I already knew that from Shacklady's Spitfire book).
