Definetly, Carlo.
That midget has burnt into my brain after it appeared at aviaquiz (which I didn't solve then) .
The full designation is: Preti PR.2 Saltafossi
Over to a joint Robert&Carlo quiz, perhaps :

I'll leave it to Carlo to show us a new mystery.
Thanks Robert
Here my next mystery I'm cocksure that this one is pretty well known to the Whole gang but as we are about to talk about diminitive aircrafts….
Cheers
Carlo

By the way a bit of philology (my preferred subject): "saltafossi" has a double meaning the second being "urchin" (Spitzbube if you prefer)
Hi Baragouin
A Frenchman in USA with help from Canada.
André Fauvel AV-60 Leprechaun (N602F) built by Wolff and Davidson.
I know Lefty is enjoying all these post war miniature "wee" aircrafts...
Hello Wout!
Hundred percent correct!
Cheers
Carlo
It is Friday. Lefty has been in the pub sampling real ales with his pals. Lefty is fast asleep......... Pray continue with the midgets and wake me when it's over...
Do gliders still qualify?
This experimental one was best for pilots with feet last.
Methinks this is the Lamson PL-1 Quark.
Hi fabulousfour
Youthink right. Seen it called PL-2 on at least one site. Any idea?
For those interested, see wikipedia on this pronepiloted test aircraft (N44J)
Your turn, sir!
Thanks, wout!
I've seen lefty awake, so here is a big airplane that might be of interest
It is the Corsaire!
Over to Green.
Cheers for that!
No mysteries where I am - soooo....OPEN HOUSE.
This one did fly. It had a tractor prop in the front compartment (not seen in this photo).
A Koechlin tandem monoplane of 1908, perhaps

I have it as the Pischoff-Koechlin effort. Not to split hairs. Over to Germany.
From a famous stable and from a time where aircraft designs gradually evolved from “type” to “type” (better “individual”). The peculiar craft is somewhat ill-documented in the monographs, but according to a later source must have existed as such and also flown. I know of two alternative type designations, so any of the three will do, unless somebody else knows it better.

Looks like one of the early Short pushers, Uli. Maybe the S.27 or a variant of it ?
The rear end doesn't look right, but maybe that is because the photo seems to show the two rudder sections pointing in different directions !
