A wee off topic but just too cute to pass up. Came across this today in research perhaps old news to many but a surprise to me.
This is a prototype PV7 "Grain Kitten", apparently powered by a 35 hp "Gnat" motor, intended for shipborne launched Zeppelin interceptor. Never panned out (Under powered / 12k ceiling) so never produced but, nonetheless an authentic WWI bird just "screaming" for someone to reproduce in either authentic wood or Al tube!
I think maybe the Flitz Biplane
