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

No idea about this "cold war" biplane?
Not a one off, from a famous designer who built aircraft for two countries.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Thanks for your very informative answer, Walter!
Mike, it is indeed Amelia and the plane is the Merrill CIT-9 aka Safetyplane
Over to Scotland.
