Had a feeling you would have it as we seem to have a lot of the same source material.

I think that it may be just a question of which motorised conversion of the Slingsby T.31 Cadet (or maybe the T.29 Tutor - it's so difficult to distinguish them when converted for powered flight) it is.

It's a Slingsby T.29 Motor Tutor

Thank you, Uli. Which Motor Tutor is it - as I failed to find a photograph of one with that colour scheme? In the meantime, here's something that's only a step up from a 'flivver'. A flivver à deux?
this one: PH-1121 https://www.zweefhist.nl/index.php/vhz-vloot?id=131

Don't know about the homebuild - but what's in the hangar ???
Uli - thank you. Mike - don't know.
Looks like a King Air or Twin Bonanza nose gear. Hard to see the engines to be sure which.Originally Posted by lefty

It's French and relatively modern.

I have it as the Guerpont Autoplum - but that's mere semantics. Over to you, Uli.
sorry, my fault
For the next let’s stay with colors

Hi giruXX
I think this is the first Miller TM-5 (USA, Terry Miller) photographed after it had seen better days.
Hallo Walter,
you think right, of course. Enjoy

Next challenge a small helicopter.
Has an interesting background/history.
The designer was a pioneer on pulse jet (pressure jet) engines and she was built by/for a big company .
The year 1950. I understand she was never given a Model/type number.
Probably the Sikorsky Flying Experimental Test Stand designed by Eugene Gluhareff.
Must have been a real hazard for the pilots hairstyle.
...or his ears!
Bravo fabulousfour
Am I right assuming that in the picture is looks if the aircraft has a single-blade rotor with a counter weight?
Wout, it was pure luck.
My search at google was:
"pressure jet" helicopter site:en.wikipedia.org
but without much hope that this would lead any further. However, this showed me that Eugene Gluhareff did invent this type of power plant.
I then found the homepage of Gluhareff helicopters (https://www.gluhareffhelicopters.com/about-us/) where a picture of the mystery instantly caught my eye.
And in the pdf (http://www.gluhareffhelicopters.com/...esentation.pdf) I found the designation of that whirly bird.
Must look for a new mystery now!
So here we go with my next mystery.
Hey Robert, you are a rascal
