    An Aeronca would seem to be too obvious!

    Hmm...difficult...an early Caspar?

    Not an Aeronca or Caspar, however the similarities between this and the Aeronca C-2/C-3 are unmistakeable. The Aeroncas had landing/flying wires for wing bracing whereas this one has more contemporary wing struts. Both are from the same era. Produced in a few variants differing mainly in the powerplants. Total production of 55 of which 4 are known to still exist today (2 flying, 1 in museum, and 1 project). It hails from the cornfields of Indiana.

    The pictured mystery was originally fitted with a 40HP Rathel, later with a 45 HP Szekely.

    I knew as soon as someone googled "Aerofiles Rathel" it wouldn't be long.....#4 in the results.

    Over to you Kevin.

  7. #7982
    Yep, Rathel gave it away. No shame though as that was a tough one!



    Kerosine burner...

    This was a prototype aircraft. Very well-known designer and manufacturer (no longer active)

    Europe, 1972.
    The company's types were all single engine, except one. And that one is still being built, albeit by another company.

  19. #7994
    I think it might be the Partenavia P.70 Alpha.

    Hi Mike :salute:
    Proficiat The only P-70 Alpha built/flown (I-CIOY). What gave it away?

    Well right from the start I thought the scenery looked Italian, and Vesuvius in the background clinched it. (Partenavia based at Naples). Your kind dating made it a doddle to look up !

    Here's a more elderly floater.

    That pointy nose is a little unusual. Thinking a one-off Uncle Sam...

  23. #7998
    It is not American.

  24. #7999
    Famous builder - one of the earliest machines designed for dropping a torpedo.

    French motor.

  25. #8000
    No takers ? It's the Sopwith Type C from 1913.


    Here's one which I think has appeared in this quiz before, but I rather like it and it's a bit different.....
