Maybe this one?

‘F.3 XP706 at Doncaster, September 2003; Scott Clayton
Looking somewhat forlorn is XP706, which had her wings and tail removed for transport away from Binbrook and spent some years at the Strubby airfield, tucked away in a hangar. Unfortunately little progress was made on restoring the aircraft to complete condition and early in 1999 XP706 moved out of the hangar and up the road to Hemswell. Again she appeared to be stuck in limbo there, and recently she’s changed hands again, new owner Scott Clayton having moved her to Aeroventure at Doncaster. Let’s hope some progress is made this time round – apparently he plans to ground run her! Information current as of 15/09/2003.’

With help from a Latin American forum friend:

It is a Government Workshops Triciclo-Experimental (Chile 1947) with a Franklin O-225-4A4-10 100hp. The registration was XX-01.

Guess it was a flight in a BEA Viscount Berlin Tempelhof – Hannover, first solo-flight in a glider Bergfalke II.

A fundamental interest in aviation related historical questions.
It all started with two different issues
– the history of the DH.114 Heron and the Saunders ST-27/28
– the history of the company that manufactured the EDO floats
