Thanks, James. Guess it's about halfway between us, but I only visited for the first time last Sunday. More pictures to follow in due course.

I'm sure someone will get this forlorn old bird in...

Came across this the other day...

Um, it's a trainer... Probably made in Brazil or Jugoslavia or one of those exotic nations that sometimes punch above their weight in aircraft production.

Sorry, Mike; haven't forgotten you. Time...

Maybe he's out in his garden too? Scotland has had even better weather than England recently (something to do with having a devolved parliament I think).

Aha. Sticky-out-engine-bits are probably properly called nacelles or something technical which James would know. Back in the day Airfix gave written instructions along with the pictures of how to...

But the N-75 doesn't have the sticky-out engine bits!

Don't you hate it when the mystery picture is still on the...

Thought it MIGHT be El Boyero from :argentina: but not sure.

Anyway, it's an excuse to show the rather pretty :argentina: !

:icon29: to lefty! Well, it lasted the night. The Scooter was a one-off Camel monoplane built for Harry Hawker, and very nice it was too!

Sorry about delay in replying, just got back from work.

Elle marche! OK, no need to i/d that one, it was just :france: THE BE-ALL AND END-ALL OF FRENCH AVIATION. :france: (Let's hope it was the right mess he flew into.)

Here's my actual mystery for...

Just gonna try using ImageShack...

...this is the point at which someone usually says, 'No, it's the E.232B model that was made in Romania and called a Sznuj', but assuming I'm right, can I post anything?

No. 'Upload of file...

I think it's a Praga E.211 from what used to be Czechoslovakia...

Excuse me, chaps; but what is that aeroplane exactly? Can't find it in any of my Fokker books & would like to know!

SURELY it's a Fokker - but I can't find it in my big book! :redface:

More likely to be Russian, but can't pin it down!

...which might be the original Douglas Sinbad? But if Mo' can't get this, then :help: (thought there was a smily waving a white flag, but maybe that's on another website).

Better than be a FUGG-IA* site :barf:


...been that too at times! (Mike...)

Thanks, I did NOT see that white text at all (getting old now). Here's another easy one:

Am I allowed to say DIFOGA 421?

Feel a bit guilty, being part-Friesian, but then it is my birthday...

Thought it might be Italian, but not with those French engines. Suppose it's one of your Balkan bandits - which are beyond the capabilities of my library... :frown:

Mention of the Cessna Bird Dog...

Edam or Gouda? :confused:

Thought of those sort of things already! Some kind of Beechcraft or Cessna? It's the tail that really worries me...

Looks a bit like a Riley Twin Navion. might be the same trick of converting a single-prop into a twin? Probably a one-off. Maybe French?

Resembles the Jugoslav Stankov 215 prototype, but may be French?

Think it might be :poland: Polish..? Surely East European.
