Unusual aircraft

[sprogs]

Good morning from England ! I'm interested in the more unusual aircraft in history, (if they actually fly that's just a bonus), and I'm trying to find details of the Bennett pl-11 airtruck with a view to making models of it both flying and card scale (have you ever been on "Fiddler's green website" ? Terrific fun and a great source of cheap models.). I've found some pretty good photos but no 3views or sectional views. I understand that there exists some video footage of the plane, does anyone here know where I could get it? I would be grateful for any leads you could give me on this and any other unusual aircraft from N.Z.
Cheers

Hi Sprogs, welcome to the forum.

There is a massive thread on the P-11 Airtruck, and on the PL-12 Airtruck on the forum.

Thanks Dave, there's a lot of good stuff in there. I keep getting this vision of the designer sitting at the breakfast table thinking about a design for a cropduster, then he looks down at his hard boiled egg and the little light bulb goes on above his head.
