It's out of my comfort zone, I'm afraid.
Agreed, Kevin, but if there are not sufficient people with the will to keep it going, falling into desuetude seems to be the inevitable consequence.

As it appears that this thread has run its course and probably now will drift off into obscurity, may I take this opportunity to say good-bye to the friends that I have made on it, over the years....
It looks like SNECMA may have had a hand in it somewhere.
..... and the baton returns to you, Chris (where have all the others gone?):icon29:
It is the Léduc RL-2, the second design of the other René Léduc, of the pays nantaise, whose metier was light,...
A French machine - and as, quite evidently, it is not powered by a ramjet, it must be the handiwork of the other .....
Thank you, Chris.
Now we had a very interesting debate, not many years ago, that mentioned the aeroplane illustrated below but, as far as I can see, it has not hitherto featured as a challenge...
Is it the Polish EM-11C Orca?
Then I think that it falls to Chris to carry the baton forward.
Having regard to the fact that what I know of Japanese aircraft of the Second World War probably could be written on the back of a postage stamp, with space to spare, I'm in no position to enter this...
Well done, Andy :icon29:. That's the bird! Over to you for the next mystery.
I have no more clues to offer but I'll leave this mystery to run for a few more hours, in the hope that someone will identify it. If not, I'll reveal its identity and call open house - and then...
A two seat fighter. The example captured by the RAF, in the Japanese retreat from Singapore, was flight tested by way of comparison against the Mosquito before, presumably, it was scrapped. But it...
No, but you're in the right country. The example illustrated was a 'war prize' which had a short existence with its captors.
In a desperate attempt to keep this thread going ......

Curiously, I have a cat that has the same name as this Czech aeroplane.
Yes, but being pedantic, at the time the photograph was taken it was the CW Cygnet G-AEMA! However no hairs should be split - so it's back to Chris. :icon29:
You might more readily identify this aeroplane with a different tail and undercarriage arrangement.
Thank you, Chris. This smart little avion de tourisme doesn't seem to have featured here before. So for your delectation, I present .....

The Fauvel AV-2?
That shouts Fauvel at me. But until I do a little research, I can't say which - if it is a Fauvel - model it is.
Chris has it :icon29:. It's the Bulgarian DAR-9 Siniger, a licence built FW-44, with a Walter Minor engine whilst in post-war service with the Yugoslav Air Force as YU-CEN.
No, Mike. It's from closer to home. A licence built version of something much better known. Re-engined, this example survived until 1958 in a European country that no longer exists.
Apologies for the delay. I'm shuttling, daily, between home and hospital, not as a patient but as a visitor. Anyhow, I've found something that doesn't appear hitherto to have put in an appearance...
