Hi there
And Michal is correct with his answer - so you'll have to be quick, anyone else who thinks they know.

Hi Paul
Bullseye! Two answers (one via PM) and both correct! I thought it was more obscure than that...
Over to you for the next question,

Hi Paul
I thought it might be a home-build from around 1930. Going from your clue, I see there was a Cadillac Aircraft Corporation around that period, but I can't find a picture of anything they built.

Paul- from the wording of your clue, I guess the car name was the car model name, not the car company name?
I've tried all the famous car models names I can think of in Google images, and I've found nothing.

the maker is the car company name(and their still going strong), i dont think their related to the aircraft maker but i could be wrong,and the model of aircraft has the same name as a top shelf magazine...

I know because "bunny" and the title of this magazine, and the planes name, is very closely connected.

Hi Paul
I think we've all just been waiting for Michal to say "Lincoln Playboy" as he'd clearly found it the other day. Ooops! I said it!
But I think Michal should do the next question because he got there first.

No no, I won't fight with Rowan because he would probably bann on Aeroscale me and all my descendants for the next 100 years. I like Aeroscale and want to go anywhere from here... Waiting for the question from the commander-in-chief Rowan.

Hi Michal
No, it's down to you to set the next question - you got there first with the right answer. Remember now, no fighting.

Michal- a good try, but It was those wheels, and the cockpit glazing, that seemed so un-German.
OK, back to WWI for this funny pusher- any ideas what this is?

Nice work Rowan- I had a few searches to see if it would come up, and I found it impossible to find anything. Over to you.
