Did you know that there was only one of these built and that it still
flies today?


There's been loads of attempts at this sort of thing, but th eMoller one is
the one that's going to be remembered as the biggest white elephant of this
period, i think.

Unfortunately no one has a picture of it but I understand that it is
responsible for
90% of the crop circles that happen to corn fields.


Could be!
The Taylor Aerocar, of course, was a success, and there is one still
flying. It's for sale on TAP at the moment. Asking 3.5 million!
