I heard a story from them recently about the front wheel falling off one of the planes . . . thankfully it had already taxi'd to a standstill! Sounds like it must have been made by Lotus!

What days are they Dezzy

I Lotus made planes they would not be passenger planes. They would be ultralights, surely. Unreliable, possibly homebuilds (kit planes). They would use a variety of powerplants.

They would make little sense to onw or buy, but they would have a loyal following as the manufacturer lurched from one disaster to another.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Bede BD5

A bit of a tendency to crash (banned in the UK). James Bond flew one in Thunderbird (I think). But very cool looking...
