Unknown Mystery Planes - Need Help

[Moses03]

Here are a couple of unknown aircraft I have been trying to track down. A round of drinks on Henry's tab for anyone that can help identify these.

French pusher biplane/sportplane from around 1939.

Light twin. French? German?

You have posted the pusher before and I spent a LOT of time looking for it - to no avail. Think you will need to venture onto a French site for this baby.

The twin, I am sure I have seen before , will have a good slog through the books today !

[Moses03]

Yeah, I posted the pusher before without any luck. Thanks for checking. Will keep this a sticky for now.

If anyone else has some "unknowns" in their collection please feel free to throw them in here.

I thought I had seen a picture of the twin before..just checked the local library and found an article in a NZ Aviation History book and the exactly same picture..

It is a one off homebuilt built in New Zealand called the the Everson Bros Evo 111. Built in the mid 30s for the Melbourne to London air race but wasn't finished in time and was subsequently grounded due to the proximity of the props to the cockpit

Here's more of their designs

Thanks Naki! Never would have guessed New Zealand. Finally one off the board. :icon29::icon29::icon29:

Looks like the French mystery is drawing interest elsewhere-

Looks like the French mystery has been cracked. See last post in above thread at Flypast.

"In a French forum a member posted the solution:
This plane is a Weymann CTW 231 Tourisme.
The abbreviation CTW means Charles Terres Weymann.
The registration was F-ALQY.
