Uli, this is the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen in Australia
that's close enough (registration UR-PARP, i.e. an Aeroprakt A-32 from Ukraine)
Happy Birthday (by the way)

Yes, I know, Uli. That's why I wrote in Australia and not from Australia
And thanks by the way.
Here is something vintage again.
I have it as an Argentinian Waco ASO, but according to aerofiles 10-W should also be correct.
So the beer goes to Carlo
Thanks Robert
Here goes my next coloured item....
Cheers

By the way would you know which type engine was fitted on the argentinian Waco?
The engine is not listed in my source, Carlo.
But according to aerofiles it should be a Wright J-5.
One final thought on the Waco - should this not be the 10-T (Taperwing) ? The 10-W was straight, i.e. parallel, wing like most other Wacos, and those wings are certainly not parallel !
Carlo, your biplane has a distinctive wing. It looks like a New Standard. Maybe a NT-2?

Edit: Found your plane and listed as a D-25.

This one will not win any beauty contests.
I am puzzled. The fuselage looks like from a Vance Special.
Any relation ?

Now I found it! It’s the "Satteo" six-passenger commercial airplane (350hp. Liberty) designed and constructed by O.L. Woodsin and J.P. Porter in 1922.

It is the 1922 SATTCO airliner. No word on the 6 passengers crammed into the wood fuselage.
Ooh, my old eyes, sattCo of course
Here is an interesting bird:

Some clues for the detectives among us:
- The similarity with the well-know French aeroplane is a good starting point, as (all?) authors mention this.
- One of the two designers became very famous. The airplane should therefore somehow appear in his CV (but I didn’t check).
- Interestingly, the designation for this airplane was used twice: for a biplane and for the depicted monoplane. Both built by the same men.

I have to reveal as I must go: Bylinkin and Sikorsky type 1 BiS-1 monoplane.
Open House please.

I think this is the Cox-Klemin Night Hawk aka Heinkel HD.27
That's the one. I thought it might last longer.

Here is another good looking biplane of the same era.
Is that the Memel A.F.G.1/Albatros L.65 ?
