Sorry Gian but while desperately surfing and trying to find the page where I once saw that mystery plane I stumbled across those other hideous creations and especially the "Christmas Bullet" with its story was worth linking here. Sry for OT.

Np, I simply couldn't understand why you linked that page, I thought you mistook. Yep, Bullet's story is really unbelievable... just imagine what the pilot could have thought of the designer when the wings ripped off.... :(

So Wmaker, is it a Lohner or not? I'm thinking it is.

Sorry CtHulhu for late answer, no it's not a Lohner but I see where you might get that idea...



...This Lohner (in that guise) never got off the ground but the plane I posted was actually mighty fast for it's time. ;)
