Hi fabulousfour:encouragement:
Butler Bat (Bat 2) from Australia?
It is the Butler ABA-2 Bat from Australia :encouragement:
Over to Walter :icon29:
This certainly is(was) a one-of. Donot get distracted by the name on the truck in the background. She (the plane) is not German/Swiss/Austrian
I have this as Aero Pony W, YU-ZBJ
That is her giruXX:very_drunk:
The Bane Aero Pony W was built using parts/components of at least 3 other aircraft. Fuselage came from a Piper PA-25 Pawnee, the wings from a Vajic V-55 and the
Lycoming O-435 from an Aero Model 3 trainer.
Your turn, sir!
Thanks for the extra info, Wout!
Sesquiplanes are seldom. So this one shouldn’t bother you for too long.
too easy or too difficult??
American from the 1960s
Hi giruXX:encouragement:
Maybe both or neither. I will bite:
The Young Eddyo F2 (N5566V). Sometimes seen as Eddy-O. Design by Evert W. Young. FF November 1963. Two-seater with Lycoming O-290 engine.
thanks for clarification
enjoy a drink with your bite :icon29:
This one appeared around 1986 and remained a one-of.
This 2-seater has one of my engines. Reportedly she is from the same city/region where the same group (?) produced a line of other light aircraft if similar configuration.
I hope my translation is correct, I found it as airplane number 7 red "Leader" by P. P. Almurzin.
Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
That is her. Named Leader (sometimes spelled as Lider). The other aircraft I mentioned is the series of Delfin light planes from Kronstad.
Floater time again. I don't think we had this one before.
CAMS 52 but has been on here before post 12347 back in 2016.
Chris
Haven't seen that pix though.
Strange. My search for this type in this thread didn't show a hit.
A had it as CAMS 60 but having read the posts concerning the CAMS 52 in this thread I think my source is wrong and it is indeed the CAMS 52.
So the baton goes to Chris :icon29:
Thanks Robert
Here one the only two pics I could find with a known pilot/designer company owner.
Chris
I don't know the history of the aircraft but pilot is in Aerofiles. I assume aircraft is american
Chris
No luck on my end Chris.
That engine/compartment looks suspect to me. Almost like a mockup.
Hopefully someone out there can find more info.
Caption read "borde-lons-monoplane" 1921
Pilot is Wally Timm
Chris
OH
Hmm, can't seem to unearth a thing about the oddly named borde-lons-monoplane or Borde Lonas Monoplane.
I wonder whether someone with IT skills and equipment better than mine can decipher the text in the heart and the oblong on the fuselage just aft of the cockpit (? - I assume that there is one and that this was not a prone pilot experiment!) and whether this might shed any light upon this aeroplane?
Searching the internet, one comes across a copy of the second photograph with the following manuscript annotation:
'Wally Timms 1918 Bordon Mono Plane'
Yes I tried to decipher that as well....
AllI can add is another couple of SD archive photos of Otto Timms -
The photo of the mystery is part of the James Hester Collection at flickr:

When you scroll down a while you can find the same picture in a much better quality where you can download it in a better resolution:

I've tried to enhance the inscription on the plane a bit, is anybody able to decipher it?
Maybe the last letter of the first word is an "H"?
The second word looks like "LON'Z" or "LON'I".
Thanks to Lefty's 2nd pic I guess we can assume it is a 2-cylinder engine? Or is that another cylinder popping out from the bottom.
