Seen arriving for the LAA Rally, the Optica is a type that first flew in 1979 with the unusual ducted fan pusher propellor. It has excellent low speed characteristics and superb all round visibility with a cabin that is reminiscent of an Alouette II helicopter. The type is a far cheaper alternative to helicopters for surveillance operations such as Police work.
