In 1941 Simmonds Aerocessories built a one-off target drone the OQ-11 which was tested by the USAAF.
Simmonds Aerocessories was a company started up by Oliver Simmonds ( of Simmonds Spartan Aircraft) after he parted company with the Woolston (later I-o-W) based company .
Aircraft was….
Length 2.7 m (9 ft)
Wingspan 3.6 m (12 ft)
Speed 100 km/h (60 mph)

Has anybody got a picture of the OQ-11?(photo, drawing – anything?)
