The Edgley Aircraft 'Optica' was the subject of the Eagle Data File No. 36 from Eagle No. 57, dated 23 April 1983. It first flew in 1979 and only around 20 ended up being built (with a varying amount of those being reported as destroyed in a factory fire in 1987). The Optica may also be familiar to anyone who has seen the 1989 movie 'Slipstream' (which isn't many, let's be honest).
