Photo Comment

Designed by Mike Whittaker and seen here under construction for Charles Robertson Developments, this aeroplane made only the one test flight on 1 July 1976 at RAF St Mawgan. No further flights were made due to a dispute between the designer and his sponsor, Mike Robertson. Since around 2003 it has been on display at the Trago Mills store near Newton Abbot, Devon, hanging from the roof of the atrium.
