I have one such thing as an "Astra-Paulhan flying boat"
Is this among the allowable answers, Mike?

**lefty** · January 28th, 2019, 14:37

Indeed, Uli - pick any combination of Astra, Paulhan, Pillard, and PP1, and you've got it ! Over to you, sir.....

**giruXX** · January 28th, 2019, 20:59

A pretty low-winger:

**fabulousfour** · January 28th, 2019, 21:59

That's the Scintex Rubis from France, Uli.

**giruXX** · January 28th, 2019, 22:47

That's her!
Have a nice day, Robert

**fabulousfour** · January 29th, 2019, 00:57

Thanks Uli, same to you.

Going back about a century.

**fabulousfour** · January 29th, 2019, 21:57

No idea about this "cold war" biplane?

Not a one off, from a famous designer who built aircraft for two countries.

**lefty** · January 29th, 2019, 22:46

I thought at first it was a Thulin model, due to the wing shape, but could that odd tail unit foxed me.

**fabulousfour** · January 29th, 2019, 23:00

Not from Sweden, Mike.

**cthornburg** · January 29th, 2019, 23:11

S-16?

Chris

**fabulousfour** · January 29th, 2019, 23:51

It is the Sikorsky S-16!

Over to you, Chris.

**cthornburg** · January 30th, 2019, 07:29

another looks like but isn't

**cthornburg** · January 31st, 2019, 06:34

24hr clue. It's in Aerofiles but doesn't look exact alike. You really have to be a student of the obscure to get this one.

Chris

**fabulousfour** · February 1st, 2019, 06:24

A modification of a New Standard?

**cthornburg** · February 1st, 2019, 06:43

Nope

A nice tandem-seater

**wout** · February 2nd, 2019, 01:44

Another view. Perhaps you know the designer from (air racing) projects.

**wout** · February 2nd, 2019, 10:45

A Dos Equis

for who comes up with the right answer.

**fabulousfour** · February 3rd, 2019, 00:43

The Statler Firefly.

**wout** · February 3rd, 2019, 01:53

Hi fabolousfour

Well done! I knew if I started talking about beer, there would be a response.
N711FF was the registration and William Statler the designer/builder.

**fabulousfour** · February 3rd, 2019, 02:47

Thanks, Walter.

Do you - or anyone else - know, whether the "Dos Equis Challenger" mentioned at aerofiles and the Wildfire by Statler are the same aircraft with different names?

Here's my next challenge.

**lefty** · February 3rd, 2019, 05:08

That lady is surely Amelia, and she is standing by a Merrill CIT-9.

**wout** · February 3rd, 2019, 05:37

Hi fabulousfour

I think they are. AFAIK the Dos Equis beer company was the original sponsor of the project by RACE (Racing Aircraft Configuration Engineering) of Bill Statler and Charles Beck. When the company withdraw the name became Wildfire.

**lefty** · February 3rd, 2019, 06:10

Walter, your knowledge of exotic ales puts me to shame.....

**fabulousfour** · February 3rd, 2019, 07:06

Thanks for your very informative answer, Walter!

Mike, it is indeed Amelia and the plane is the Merrill CIT-9 aka Safetyplane
