Above is not correct. Minor was not completed. Major backer did not 'leave'
Have you read my book Spithead Express see Amazon. have also written a more personal memoir which tries to tell the whole story.Would gladly send a free copy if of interest. And there is now somer pressure to think about publishing all my father's written records about the Aerocar

There was in addition a Minor version of this aeroplane but it was shelved for being too underpowered. The plane showed good flying characteristics but because the major backer of Portsmouth Aviation left there was no money to develop the concept.
