Henry Millicer desiigned this a /c to meet a demand which was furcast in the UK . he used any draftsman he could con to make the drawings & Gordon Bennet diid the stress calcs.
henry was a Pole & flew against the germans . he was also a keen glider pilot & carried scar round his neck flom getting tangled up in some power lines .
I worked in the design office run by John Peckham in the 70 s was flat out building my house
also worked on Jindivick & was lucky in that John sent me to woomera a couple of times for repair of Jindy wngs.
These wngs where stuck together with Araldite or similare & cooked in an autocliive .

The Aircruiser was further developed to make the CT-4 air force trainer, used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and also the Royal Thai Air Rorce (RTAF). The RAAF also used it in the FAC role.
