    Here is another photo. The company all but vanished by the end of WWI.

    Well this is the first design bearing its designer’s name, the Ponnier F1 in her second form with the open, tandem nacelle.
    Open House if correct, as I shall be away over the weekend.

    It is the Ponnier. Dark ale over to Germany.

    Open board-

  4. #17854
    I don't think it is dark ale they are drinking over there, Kevin.

    The Oktoberfest has started.........

    Oh heavens, he'll be out in his lederhosen soon!

    To keep things going here is an easy one.

    That, Robert, would be G-EBHO, the Vickers Vulture, presumably somewhere during its unsuccessful round-the-world trip. (or it might be the spare, G-EBGO...)

  9. #17859
    Two correct answers within seconds.

    It is the Vickers Vulture G-EBHO after her emergency landing on Lake Kournas near Corfu/Greece.

    Mike has more details (so half a pint for him ) but Green was slightly faster, so he has the honour to present us a new mystery

    Thanks mate, but I'd like Mike (Lefty) to take the joystick as we were nanoseconds apart - I have no "mystery" aircraft and to be honest, probably never will.

    Cheers.

  11. #17861
    Thanks G - it was the nearest thing to a photo-finish we are going to get hereabouts!

    and thanks for the beer, Robert. Now for something a bit newer - a nice parasol....

    Hi Mike
    Your parasol is a PZL S-4 Kania 3 from Poland, 1957 vintage.

  13. #17863
    Of course it is, Walter......

    New challenge, a one-of homebuilt with a familiar name in the light aircraft world (designer).

    Hi giruXX
    You are too modest. Not perhaps, but for sure, the Rapid Transit by Ralph Taylor with help from fellow EAA`ers Welch and Replogle.
    Your turn, sir!.

    My next one is a mystery plane in the fog:

    A "Magic" photo

    That looks like the Eurodisplay SR-01 Magic from Czechia.

  20. #17870
    It is the Eurodisplay SR-01 Magic
    The company seems to have gone out of business in mid-2016 and, if true, that's all history now.
    Enjoy the day, Robert

    Thanks, Uli, the same to you.

    Here is a plane of similar configuration.

  22. #17872
    This tiny plane was developed in the 80s and was offered as a kit, it won an award at Oshkosh in the year of its first flight.
    A few dozen have been built since with different types of landing gear.

  23. #17873
    AS you know, I'm no expert on modern stuff, but we'll have a go at the Star-Lite SL-1 ?

  24. #17874
    Congrats, Mike, it is the Star-Lite.
    A few planes found their way to Europe and one seems to be still flying in Germany.
    The picture was taken at a fly-in in the UK around 1990.

    Over to Scotland

  25. #17875
    From one streamlined beauty to another (!). Here's one for pusher fans. This cosy three-seater apparently had full instrumentation, radio, brakes, etc.

    Just the thing for a nice weekend away with the wife and mother-in-law........
