No idea...  Miles M4 Merlin?

I am thinking it may be a Miles or Percival... But the tail doesn't look right for one of those, so i am probably very wrong. :confused:

Indeed. Maybe some early Miles Falcon prototype? The cockpit style is certainly the same as in Merlin and Falcon but the tails are different in both of those.

However the proportions suggest it is quite a small airplane (note the hump in the cowling).

Ed. Then again, the tail looks French....

Edd. While surfing found an interesting site. Not on topic but anyway: http://www.content-delivery.co.uk/aviation/airfields/acads/

Nope, not a Miles guys. :)

I thought it might turn out to be next to impossible as atleast Google didn't find any pics of it. :D I know it was kind of a nasty stunt I pulled. :D Do you guys want to know what it is or some hints, or just keep looking? :)

I'm thinking Wmaker and his uncle cobbled that thing together themselves out behind the garage. :(

Wmaker, did you scan the picture from paper and put it online? Or is it something actually on the Internet?
