LB30, the transport version of the B24A used by BOAC No Adrian, sorry. If you and Peter don't know it first off, I will have to check my source! BIG BIG hint! It is the hoodoo number in Australian cricket!
Well done. Do I give good clues or what? Your turn Kyt! Yes, and the "B24 close but no cigar" helped However, knowing nothing about cricket, I did have to google hoodoo - still not sure why 87 seems to be the magic number!!!! OK - what is this and who made it? And it's not the obvious.

Hindustan Troop Glider :sign_wow: I doff my hat to you, PC. I was hoping for some spurious responses about the Waco, but you obviously know your aircraft. <table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="6" height="107" width="75%"><tbody><tr><td height="31" valign="bottom" width="100%">HINDUSTAN TROOP GLIDER <!-- #EndEditable --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"><!-- #BeginEditable "Picture 1" --><!-- #EndEditable --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"><!-- #BeginEditable "Picture text 1" --> <!-- #EndEditable --> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <!-- #BeginEditable "Description" --> HINDUSTAN TROOP GLIDER - India's single aircraft-manufacturing company, Hindustan Aircraft Ltd, chose as its first indigenous design project a nine-seat troop-carrying glider. Of wood-and-fabric construction, a prototype of the glider was flown in August 1941. With no clear IAF requirement, and the availability of British and US gliders, planned produc*tion of 100 was cancelled, and HAL's priorities changed to major aircraft over*haul and repair work for the remainder of the war. Your go, PC
Hiller Flying Platform. Supposed to be steered by the pilot leaning in the appropriate direction. Looks very unstable to me, no Computer control in those days (1950's). Fortunately could only rise a few feet and only a couple were built.
