Mike no problem - the whole point of Picture of the Day is to promote discussion - even of aircraft

Mark - Thank You - Another "Clue" then.. The 'Brit's' used an inverted inline 4 Cyl. Engine on this Airplane. (Gypsy 'Minor or perhaps an "Auster" (SP)?? - Memory fails me). IIRC it resulted in an increase in 'Cruise Speed" to about 110 MPH but didn't improve 'Take-Off ' distance.
Mine was all "US GI" with the Continental 65 HP engine.

Thanks again Mark!!
