I hate a mystery

Via the marvel of contacts, the mystery aircraft over Cleethorpes beach on Sunday afternoon is identified. Was strolling off the platform at the beach station, just past the pub at about four in the afternoon and heard the sound of an engine over the coast; faced with a grey monoplane, high winged, looked for all the world like an Auster but with a twin tail, shaped reminicent of a Lancaster bomber. That's odd. Very odd. My eyes must be better than I thought, because the nose made me think a Gypsy in-line, like the old De Haviland types used, the Tiger Moth and the like; turned out to be right about the engine. But this is no Tiger Moth. In fact, it's nothing I've seen before, or even seen pictures of and that's not normal. I'd have thought Broussard apart from the engine. Having confused me once, it turned around at the end of the beach and gave me a second run to have an even better look at it. Which was nice, but left me no wiser. It wasn't until a day or so after when I was looking at the posted pics of the fly in's at the weekend that I got my answer, in the shape of a very distinctive tail fin that someone had taken a close up of; this gave me a name; and then a quick bit of research on that to get a full sized pic and put this one to bed. Ladies and gents, let me introduce you to....

...the Chrislea Super Ace. Never even heard of it before, which is unusual. A 1949 design, only 21 ever built, two left flying. Rare as hen's teeth, and definately one for the bag!
