The Thorp T-5, aka the Boeing T-5, an early design by John Thorp of Fletcher FU-24 fame, n'est-ce pas?
PH, very nice part of the world you're living in there, have to admit to being more than a touch jealous.

After video review, the ruling is that there was a catch, but it was obscured and may have been intentionally dropped, to be recovered by a team member...
First down at midfield for the Sopwith side, with a splash of Gatorade for Andy .

The photo is a little deceiving to me, looks like an RC model.
That said haven't a clue of it's origin whether full scale or not.
That's the bunny. I always check back on this thread to make sure I'm not covering old ground and I was intrigued to see a challenge from 2008 to "post something tasty from Sherwood" with no follow up, so I knew I was on safe ground.
Over to you!!

This one went unidentified on another forum...
Was this a flyer, Kevin ? The strutting is a complete shambles - different numbers and angles on port and starboard - and the whole thing looks just, er, wrong !
I know very little about it. Hails from the far east with one information source noted so far.
Oh, those are struts? I thought that it was the aeroplane erector's scaffolding!
It's the Toa-Koken No. 2 Passenger Hydroplane. Really obscure build.
Open board-
Now for something really different flying machine.

I can see from where you're coming but .....
Is that picture the right way up?
Andy
Bien sûr, monsieur!
The Yeoman YA-1 Cropmaster, apparently a spruced up CAC Wackett. Yes?
Andy
I have it as the Yeoman-Hanes 250, ZK-CDI, a tandem three seater, which had its origins in the Wackett. But as ZK-CDI started life as an aggie Cropmaster, before being converted to a tourer by Ivan Hanes, it would be churlish for me to say other than - over to you, Andy!
