That is the one Mike.
Lead us off for 2018.
Thank you Kevin - what better than a grainy floater ?
I recognize the location but no luck on the make and model just yet.
Carlo comes up trumps with the tantalising Turk !
Not sure about Kevin's familiar stretch of water - might be the Bosphorus ?
Anyway, over to Italy..
Sorry for the delay gentlemen!
And here's my new offer a floater for a change...
Cheers

Could this be the Piaggio P.9 on floats and with a radial engine?
Thanks, Carlo!
Here is a sweet little biplane.
Regarding the used material this plane seems to be a "first" in aviation history.
Not a one-off, flown in the early twenties.
it looks somewhat like a Longren AK

Well, it should look like a Longren AK because it is a Longren AK.
Probably the first aircraft built of composite material.
Over to the Black Forest.
Here comes an optically similar thing, albeit without the upper wing:

Cute.
That one would fit into a garage I think.
... and almost in a hummingbird's nest

This plane flew for the first time at the Long Beach Municipal Airport in 1926 with a 24 h.p. engine.

It’s the Brea “Humming Bird”, see Aero Digest April 1926, p.198 https://archive.org/stream/aerodiges...e/n89/mode/2up
As to the garage: look how many garages Google finds at “Hummingbird Dr, Brea, CA 92823”
Open House!!

An interesting article about the Brea/Tremaine Humming Bird can be viewed here starting at page 4.
A not so big twin. Not an ULM but with "normal" registration.
European, initial engines two Solo/Hirth, then Koenig SC430s.
The Krebser Twin Baby HB-YCK from Switzerland?
That is her, fabulousfour
You know your classics!
