It's those fuselage claddings - remind me of when I played washboard in a skiffle band.......(would explain to you younger whippersnappers, but it would take too long....)
Here's a neat little sporty number -

Rather large ailerons on this European runabout...
mmm, European, eh ? Methinks Moses knows.....
Nah, that was a guess based on the look of the photo. It does look like a couple of Austrian numbers but not having much luck really.
I was thinking Comper, but its not quite right.

Hi Mike
I wild guess, The Cabanes-Saissac CS-01 (F-WFUO) ?
Walter, wild guesses occasionally hit the mark. This one did !
Over to you -
Thank you Mike. The ailerons gave it away (for me)
For this challenge I can accept two names/models.
Sorry the picture does not show the entire aircraft. The second one is a sistership.
The third V-tail example is now in a museum.
Baragouin: have sent you PM on the Cabanes-Saissac CS-01-3
The V-tails are two examples of the Ballentine TJ (c/n 022 and 023) which are in fact (modernized) replicas of the Allied A-2 of 1948.
The original A-2 (NX3153K) first flew 9 April 1948 with a 145hp Continental C145 engine. A factory fire caused the loss of 2 further prototypes and the project was then abandoned.
In tghe early-1970s, NX3153K was acquired by Thomas J. Ballentine and since the FAA did not allow operation in original form, the aircraft received new wings, new tail, 210hp Continental IO-360 etc. and became N312TJ in the experimental (51% homebuilt) category. After a long rebuilding period, the aircraft flew again in 1987 and was later donated to the Kansas Aviation Museum a couple of years ago and got its original NX3153K registration back.
Mr. Ballentine built 2 further examples, N312TJ (second use) c/n 023 and N504WM c/n 022, both described as Allied TJ in the FAA register and both having the Continental
IO-0360 engine.
.......and of course, OH please
I would never have found that.....not via wikipedia anyway.
Here goes then:

Is it me, or are the mysteries getting tougher of late?
That said, I have seen Keith's Uncle Sam runabout before. Now if I can jog the memory.
........where the wind comes driving down the plains.........

I think that's enough of the Howard Keels, Keith ! (woops, sorry, it was Gordon Macrae....)
It's the Okay SK-1.
Mike, OK, OK, OK! (la, ho, ma.)
Over to you.
Keith
After that mid-Western frolic, here's a nice floater - which I don't think you'd find in the Panhandle......
Red herring Mike?
Methinks a LeO H.13 in Polish guise.
The glass is raised, the hand is on the tap, but the beer ain't getting poured until you get the designation spot-on !
Okay, how about a H.13E? (This is when we find out it's the B3!).
I don't know - standards are slipping in this forum . It's the H-135. (Check it out on Aviafrance -7 exemplaires construits pour la Pologne)
Anyway, here's the beer - Over to Texas !
I have Poland having H-13b and H-135B3 the pix looks more like H-13b the H-135B3 has a raised front turret compared to the H-13b at least in the sources I found.
