No confusion, let's say my Saturday night would've been better spent on WIX.

Ah, well, we call 'em 'wrong 'uns' here anyway. Good call though.
Back on topic, here's a model of the machine showing the various engine/s stages. This was in front of the real thing in the museum.
The other object in front is the Sipa-Caproni - and that's another whole story.

There is also a color picture of the airworthy Stipa-Caproni Ducted Fan replica in my latest book (Vintage Flyers II). The airplane is based in Tawoomba, Australia.
