Thanks for the info Graeme. There is a similarity with the Norseman and the Otter in the look of the Husky, and it's a neat looking kite.

Got an error Terry. Who's up for some ugly? The Rocheville Arctic Tern, 1933.

That's one very ugly creation !
Don't know what happened, but here's the Lakes amphibian, at Cranfield PFA Rally, 1983.

That's something I could own

Yep, it would be a useful tourer, especially in Canada.
