My next could be a perfect illustration for the evolution of life: From flying boat, via amphibian to a land plane (with the sea still in the background).

From your holidays in Espana, Uli?
I think this is a Colyaer Martin.

It is the Thomas-Morse.
I thought after all those long-lasting mysteries I should post an easy one.

Easy if you know it and hard if you don't and frustrating when you can't figure it out.
So I don't know about this one.

Hi Chris
Your tu-holer is the CSS-10A from Poland. CSS =Centralne Studium Samolotów built 2 examples in 1948 and 1949.
CSS-10 (registration SP-AAP) and the CSS-10A (registration SP-BAK). Main differences were the engine and wing with slight dihedral (CSS-10A).

Close but no cigar. Over to you since it's only 1 number off. CSS-11 SP-BAH

Is that a Nemesis NXT, Uli?
The rudder looks different somehow.

It is! I have it as “Wright NXT” or Nemesis NXT #7 "Wright Flyer" by Dan Wright.
(Wout inadvertently gave me the keyword.)

The plane should have flown to Stockholm via Greenland, but ran out of fuel before reaching a prepared airstrip there.
It then remained for decades on Greenland's icecap but was recovered about half a century ago. It was restored and now is in a museum.

By the way, the manufacturer is well known and the aircraft is not a one-off, according to Wikipedia more than 100 of the type were built.
Capacity for 6 persons on board.

With those clues it must be the 1928 Stinson Detroiter ('The Greater Rockford') of Cramer/Hassell.

It is the "Greater Rockford" which lay "on the rocks" in Greenland for 40 years.
Over to you, Mike!

Thank you, Robert.
Here's an unusual sesquiplane - perhaps unusual for what you can't see on the upper mainplanes!

Mike, your wee flivver sans ailerons is unfamiliar to me.....is this a late-model wing-warper, or just another flight of Gallic fancy ?
May 31st, 2018, 08:11

It's definitely gallic but it isn't a wing warper. As to why the upper main planes are sans ailerons, maybe this image will explain.

Even a limited grasp of aerodynamics would suggest a fairly drastic reaction on tweaking those levers!
And that doesn't even look like a proper aerofoil section......please tell me there's a clip of it flying on YouTube..

Oh pou! Think of a flying ladder and you'll be on your way. If not, when I return home later today I'll supply the answer.

Le BICHEL de Jean-Philippe Meulien, perhaps?
