Not from the UK. This one is a bit off the beaten path.

OK, but I've beaten every path, a few goat trails, a couple of Gypsy wagon-tracks and a contrail or two .. I surrender ( even though it looks familiar)

How dare you imply, sir, that my faculties are even remotely impaired by a few draughts of finest Scottish ale ?:isadizzy:
I have retired from this particular fray because I am unable to identify what must be a cutting from the Ecuadorean Plane Spotters Monthly. Please reveal, O sage of the sagebrush...........
G'day mates, this one hails from Australia. It's a Wicko Wizard.
**Open Board**
Wizard indeed.
Here's a flotteur....
It wasn't a scurrilous reference to ale in itself. I was just concerned that the flag was being waved from a position on the floor. Having fallen at work on Saturday (no impairment except lack of caffeine at 0630) and hit my knee, elbow, head and wrenched my back, I'm so acutely aware of falling objects...
I even checked the EPSM and came up dry. Obviously the Sage has some secret whacko Wicko documents from Waco...
Now, the ensuing floater.. hmmm

This of course is a Stearman S76D1. Very obsolete by 1936 standards. Maybe the Argentina Air Force needed it to shoot down pelicans.
How about this unique pusher?
Fauvel AV2.
And right back to Scotland.
This one ought to slow things down a bit.....
And it's not from Ecuador.(or Bulgaria)
....and then Mike digs DEEEEEEP into his bag of tricks and pulls this one out.
I'm convinced the "SHT" on the tail has nothing to do with the ID of this one. Likely the surname/initials of the person who owned it. Possibly Sir....(something or another)??
Actually it may have some relevance - but not the owner's name, and I don't think it's an 'H' in the middle.
This is a stinker - it is not from the US, and was made by a company that was incorporated into another which is still very much in business today.
AB Svenska Jernvagsverkstaderna (ASJA) Viking - Now part of SAAB / Registered as SE-95 (1931)
Well I think you deserve
Absolutely spot on.
Well thanks Mike - that'll go nicely with the hot weather. Next up.......
Have seen this one recently. It was on another mystery plane thread.
I think you have the better of me, gentlemen. Looks like an obscure Teutonic beast.
Are you trying to tell me there are other people out there.....just like us??? Oh my.
IT certainly looks like it's rugged.. or perhaps made of solid steel, considering the wing struts.
Have to wonder if there was a spy in the Caspar factory or did someone else 'discover' their "inverted sesquiplane empennage" at the same time..

No relation to Caspar. From this side of the pond.
It looks like two Revell kits cannibalized to make one aircraft - the upper and lower wings don't remotely match, the strutting is bizarre, and as for the tail unit.....
This one is a real oddball.:
Found another view in the Moze archives. Hope you don't mind John. Hate to waste a good rare photo. (Should drive Mike, Rob, anyone else nuts.)
I think you are supposed to hold a hankerchief over your face when you say this.
