This box contains numerous aircraft of unknown parentage.
This is just one of them.
Not a brilliant photo, but the only one I have remaining. I sent a better one to the Wings Magazine at the time, but it has disappeared into the ether.I believe it is a amateur built, own design, man powered flying machine which I noticed in one of the Wigram hangars on 06-01-1987. From memory I seem to recall that it was marked as the "Boffin Coffin".
Does anybody know any more about it.
Who built it ?
Did it fly ?
Where is it now ? etc.

I don't know anything about it. But, looking at your photo, it looks too heavy to be a man-powered aircraft. It does resemble a Bede BD-5 or BD-5J (see http://www.bedecorp.com/)
Morning frankv.
Oh, It is much larger than the BD-5.
I would guess the wing span about 15m.
I've been thinking (dangerous activity) that I still have the negatives from my pre digital days. So if I rat around I may just find them for a later posting.
Watch this space.
