Not very difficult, but it doesn't seem to have been here before- a nice little amphibian -

I think there are people modestly holding back here - it's not that obscure ! Walter Mikron engines.......
Johansen CAJO 59 ?
No picture in Walter Micron Wiki, but description seems correct. Only one built.

That's the one, Keith, good detective work - http://www.oy-reg.dk/register/1927.html
Appeared with both Danish and German reg, but I can't find out if she still exists. Last traced to the Danish museum in Stauning, but not there when I visited last year - at least, not on display.
Please proceed -
Thanks Mike - further googling came up with more pictures even the one you used but reversed which seems the correct view looking at the air intakes!
OK so see if this is difficult - I've never seen it before - but thats not surprising!

After much research: Kaminskas Jungster II....Originally Posted by Dev One
BG
Jungster II 1966 = 1pOhwM. A slightly larger, strut-braced parasol wing version of the previous; 180hp Lycoming; span: 22'0" length: 20'0 v: 160/150/53. [N4086]. Marketed plans for home-builders
BG well done! Not so difficult as I thought the photo might imply!
Your turn I believe.

This is my next mystery which is not so mysterious as I left a few clues.....
Cheers
BG
You keep doing this. I want to sit back from the forum a little, and then you keep firing floaters at me, and, well, I just can't contain myself !
This beauty is a Douglas P2D-1, probably flying over the Canal Zone, 1932-ish. Those were the days.....
Of course it is Lefty! Isn't it a beautiful pic?
Your turn now....
BG
Thanks BG.. here's a runabout -
A Wout special....
Hi Lefty....
It's like finding a needle in a haystack...besides that's Wout's domain! However out of curiosity, is it french?
BG
you've narrowed it down, BG...........
A good day to you Gentlemen
I needed BG`s clue on France! And then started with Morane-Saulnier to find out that was the wrong Route Nationale.
I think this is the Sud SE-7050 Deauville (the one with the tri-gear).
Correct, of course, Walter, although I think Sud-Ouest, or perhaps S.N.C.A.S.O., rather than Sud ??
I am also a bit confused - I thought the 7050 was tricycle and the 7055 was the tail-dragger - now I find out there was a 7050 identical to the latter ?
One of these days I will read an in-depth study of the pre- and post-war machinations of the French aircraft industry !
Over to the flatlands......
Hi Mike
I made a mess of it calling it the SE-7050. Of course the Sud I meant is SNCASO or Sud Ouest and this first Deauville is the SO-7050 and not SE-7050.
Understand that only 2 aircraft were built as:
SO-7050 (F-WDVZ) with tri-gear and 75hp Mathis 4-GO engine
SO-7055 (F-WEAA) with tail wheel and same engine
SO-7056 the second aircraft re-engined with 75hp Minié 4DC-32
SO-7060 both the SO-7050 (now sporting a tail wheel and registration F-BDVZ)) and the SO-7056 having received a 105hp Walter Mikron 4-III. Reportedly both aircraft also featured increased wingspan of 37ft (some 3ft more). Could not find whether F-WEAA ever got another registration as SO-7060.
Always happy to receive comments on the above.
New one is for the aquanisticians among us.
It's a conspiracy ! While I work on this big ugly floater, let me throw a small French spanner in the works...
Walter's floater of size is the ill-fated Sundstedt-Hannevig "Sunrise" of 1919. It crashed during trials and was beyond repair.
Some info and a nice 3-view here.
Sorry for the delay. Had to wait for the Sunrise. Kevin is of course correct. Mike thank you for the clear pic of SO-7050 no.1. Seems it was F-WDVZ with trigear and tailwheel and that that it changed to F-BDVZ when flown by the aeroclub. For those interested, some (more) info on the big floater. Click here. My Icon function seems to be on strike

Walter, I fixed the link above. Some good additional info there, thanks. Figured Lefty would have had us all beat but he might have been a little modest here.
You know how I like the wacky oddballs. This is one of those and yes it did fly....barely!
Short 330 mock up?........
Keith
Hehe, the fins in the back were a late addition to this version.
'Festus, wha'cha gonna do with that ol' chicken shed ?
Well, Marybelle, ah'm gonna make me a airplane.......'
Please don't tell me it flew! (maybe he left some chickens in it.....)
(By the way, didn't know the Sundstedt-Hannevig. You're never too old to learn)
Lefty is not too far off with his Festus assessment.
Here is the original version before he added onto the airframe. Circa 1930.
