Parmentier Wee Mite

The Parmentier Wee Mite (sometimes Noel Wee Mite) was a British two-seat, parasol monoplane designed by Cecil Noel and first flown in Guernsey in 1933.

Design and development
The Wee Mite was a parasol monoplane with a welded steel frame with wooden wings and a fixed landing gear with a tailwheel. Designed by Cecil Noel and built by him and Harold James Le Parmentier it was initial powered by a 30 hp ABC Scorpion and first flown at Vazon Bay, Guernsey on 10 April 1933. The test flights or hops were not promising and after a forced landing and a damaged fuselage, the aircraft was rebuilt with a 40 hp British Salmson AD.9 engine and a lengthened fuselage by 18 in. It was successfully flown around Guernsey in a 50 minute flight on 15 September 1933.

It was registered as G-ACRL to Parmentier on 21 April 1934. It was dismantled and stored in 1936.
