The manufacturer is probably best known for an earlier product.
Here, however, is a nice photo of our Challenge machine.

Ha! Knew it was German. A captured AGO C.IV.
German indeed, well spotted.

Over to you now.

Thanks. In the first photo you posted, I though that was a gun sticking up from the front of the fuselage, not an exhaust stack. That led me astray for a while.
Oddball time!
A 1952 Popular Mechanics "Skycycle"?Originally Posted by Moses03
It was featured in Popular Mechanics but better known as the Farnham FC-1 Flycycle. Have a cold one!
<SMALL></SMALL>
<SMALL>"Lawrence Farnham, Fort Collins CO.</SMALL>
FC-1 Fly-Cycle 1954 = 1pOlwM; 75hp Continental A-75; span: 29'7" length: 19'0" v: 85/x/30 range: 150. A genuine flying motorbike; the pilot had no cockpit, but rode the plane sitting astride the fuselage with his feet resting on the wings. Control was by means of handlebars and a twist-grip trottle in the right grip. As a "working" plane, containers for crop-spraying could be carried in its wings. [N201A]."
Very kind of you to stretch that one Moses. Thank you. All I have on deck is this one.

Whoever captioned the pic (you really have to start removing these, Dave !) got it wrong, it's Vista, not Vesta (Canadian Vickers.)

You're right, in more than the machine
Dave
I'll take you up on the OH Mike....
And I will take up John's mystery as the Tachikawa TS-1 from 1937.
Take it away Kevin.
Thanks John. Here is an interesting one that seems to be drawing a crowd...
She crashed after being converted from a seven passenger airliner to a refueling tanker...
Right, time to move along. This is the Javelin Pasedena Californian. Here is the Aerofiles entry for it:
Javelin
<SMALL>Pasadena Aircraft Corp, Pasadena CA.</SMALL>
Californian 1929 = 7pO/ChwM; 220hp (?>300hp) P&W Wasp or Wright Whirlwind. S C Parr. $14,000. Two pilots in side-by-side cockpit; full-width ailerons. [469E]
How about something more recent?
Hi Kevin,
the part shown in your photo could be of one of the Grob/E-Systems D-500 (D-520?) Egrett IIs
