Design and development
The Flittermouse was a high-wing braced pusher monoplane powered by a 25 hp Scott Squirrel piston engine with a pusher propeller. An open frame carried the tail unit.[1] One aircraft was built and registered G-AELZ[2]
In 1938 the rear skid was removed and the main landing gear moved back and a castoring nose wheel was fitted.[1] After a number of private owners it was scrapped at Blackbushe Airport in 1951.[1]

gollark: The image is not* somehow lacking half the spectrum and/or weirdly colored.
gollark: That's CLEARLY just your eyes.
gollark: The output of such a detector may look something like this.
gollark: Gay/EM effects are actually the operating principle behind "gaydar": gay field interactions with charged particles creates electromagnetic radiation of a fairly widely sweeping range of frequencies, depending on exact field strength; with tuning of the energies of the input particles, you can ensure that this is within the visible spectrum and so detectable on a camera or something.
gollark: This is merely the gay-electromagnetism interaction.
