Lance Fletcher a LAME  at RNAC Rutherford was building one of these in the 50's I would have liked the opportunity to fly one. It would be something of a challenge when you have no wires or combing panel for attitude referencing and you are just sitting out there in space. Breezy is an appropriate name. Nev

Hi Nev, you’re spot on Re the lack of attitude reference. I completed the initial test flight in one about 20 years ago, I resorted to glancing at the wings initially. You did get used to it, I wasn’t that keen on the lack of cockpit!

I was fortunate enough to go for a flight in VH-GSG with Ken Andrews in the late 1960s at Camden when I was a young lad. I recall it was very loud!
