That was fast, Mike!
It is one of the rare pictures of the Albatros L.65 in front of the Heinkel-hangar.
Next mystery please.

Thanks Robert - just happened to get up early and recognised this one right away - posted it myself once long ago - the I-struts and spinner are the clues.......
Here's something small and portly (posted by someone of a similar description....)
Is that the prototype Victa (Millicer) Airtourer VH-FMM? It looks like it except that the cabin glazing doesn't tie up with any of the photographs I've found.
Yes Mike, that's the prototype - wooden-built, although I don't know about the canopy frame...
That made me chuckle this morning...and I needed that! Lefty, ever so humble.Originally Posted by lefty
And I was beginning to think that, with the depth and breadth of the knowledge assembled here, I'd never put in another appearance! So thank you, Mike. And here's a period piece, which I don't think has been used here hitherto, to take us on .....
May I put my guess on the Guerchais-Roche T5.0 ?

Has a lot of 'Koolhaven' features, but cannot find it simply on wiki.
You may put your guess, sir, and if you do so, it will be an accurate guess! It's one of the two Guerchais-Roches produced for the French Air Ministry in 1931.
I haven't been able to find a registration for the T5.0 but the other (the T5.1) was F-AJHD. I don't think wikipedia carries any mention of the T5.0 and I didn't find any images of it online.
Sadly the Air Ministry were not impressed with either the T5.0 or the T5.1 - and so there their story ended.
Next challenge from Germany, please.
Salut Pomme Homme, it seems that we have the same source.
May I declare “Floater Time”?
Here is an according interesting number. Sorry for the grainy pic.

You should have a close look at the floats! These are carved after a historic and world-famous plane. The rest of the present vehicle was built from scratch to test these floats as a first step towards creating a flying replica of the historic airplane. Power comes from two Chrysler engines.

would it help if I said that the world-famous plane won the Schneider trophy?

Not really....
OK, more than 48 hours is enough.

We gave not had a twin tail boomer for a while. The best (and only!) picture I ever saw.
Two twin boomers in a row, and one a pusher. Never seen either one. Blimey!
Oh brother, some help to get you started
This one-of-a-kind has nothing to do with the well-known aircraft company with the same name
She is American. First flight 1965. Damaged in (non-fatal) accident on 23 April 1966 when gear collapsed. Two-seater had retractable gear and I never flound out what engine was installed.
Pulliam CS-1?
Couldn't find anything about that bird except the entry at aerofiles
Hi fabulousfour
Maybe the Pulliam (I have this CS-1 as the Crouch & Sowers CS-1 with same N225A registration. Extenally looking like a (single-seat) Piper Cub. I understand that Charles Pulliam may have been the builder of N225A.
The twin tail boomer is the Short Model A (also seen named as One-Of-A-Kind). Registration was N238Y.
May I hand the baton to you, please
Thanks for the information about the Pulliam, Walter!
Couldn't find anything about the Short twin-boomer eitherYour database is incredible!
As you pushed the baton to me, here is a nice floater.
Time for a clue.
The company is well known, though not one of the big players. The aircraft had different types of undercarriages.
Not a European type.
Hadn't thought that this would last so long.
First flight 1917, in the late twenties the company built aircraft in license from a well known European manufacturer of light planes.
Thought it MUST be German.
I'll dare to put a coin on the Aeromarine 39-A
