It is French and dates back to 1935......... :biggrin-new:

That is normally my problem. In most case I know exactly what it isn't... :biggrin-new:

A question to narrow my search: Is it Italian?

Perhaps an Avia 56 on floats?

I'm quite convinced that the guy in the basket is Louis-Sebastien Lenormand. But I don't have a clue what his aeronautical device was called.....

Nothing to add! It is indeed the Italian Ro.37 bis by the Industrie Meccaniche e Aeronautiche Meridonali (IMAM) in the colours of the Condor Legion.

Over to you Chris.

That wasn't too difficult. This sturdy bi-plane should not be a problem for most of you.

The thick wings (Hurricane) and the nose shape (Fury/Hurricane) make me think this must be a Hawker.

Is it a Hawker Henley?

The image with an armed guard made me think the picture was taken in Belgian Congo. As the Belgians flew almost every aircraft ever manufactured, this doesn't help a lot.

But is it perhaps a...

Rugby? Whots that? :biggrin-new:

Is it a Heath-Henderson B4?

To be honest I had never heard of the aircraft. But it looked like a post war Caudron-Renault C450 replica to me. The tail is very similar to the Caudron. And even the blue-white-red band of the...

So this is actually more a memory test than recognising the aircraft. :biggrin-new:

It looks like a Miles, but knowing you, I'm quite sure it isn't

Very good Lefty. It is indeed the Lambach HL.2 designed by Hugo Lambach.
A cold Heineken for you! :icon29:

Hugo Lambach was a mechanical engineer, physicist and aircraft designer, who was like...

Another hint:

Not that long ago somebody here said:" hope that Huub can come up with some dark secret machine from the Low Low Lands ! :mixed-smiley-010:"

So you can blame lefty, as this is the...

No Kevin, it is not the Salman 200. Until recent (for people my age) it was another "one of". But a weird enough a flying replica has been build in 1995.

And to guide you all a bit, it is not a...

Apologies when this aircraft has been here before....

Than it must most likely its predessor, the Letov S.218A Smolik

Cheers,

I think the uncommon struts must be the key. :dizzy:

Is it a VL Viima?

Well done Chris, it is indeed the Koolhoven FK30 Toerist. The first aircraft Koolhoven released under his own name.

Huub

Okay, no problem. So here is the next attempt....

History doesn't have any secrets for you. A cold beer for you and your turn to find something unrecognisable.....

Cheers,

You guys are just to good, so I had to check my obscure books to see whether I could find something suitable. I hope it hasn't been posted yet.

I think you all can imagine the disappointment here :banghead: :dizzy:
