    Over to Idaho.

    Nice low wing should be easy?

    A variant of the Koolhoven F.K.53 Junior perhaps

    That's the one. After I put it on I checked and had been on the forum before. The picture was no longer available but I figured not this variant with changed turtledeck.
    Your turn.

    That's OK

    As additional information for the photo I have: "The Ranger-powered AT-6D appeared again in 1948 under new sponsorship and this time flown by Betty Clark."

    Looks like the "original" Thunderbolt Grease-slapper.

    Avro Baby, maybe Bert Hinkler's (or, more likely, the racing Baby G-EAXL)?

  13. #19063
    It is the Baby G-EAXL.

    Your turn, Mike.

    Thank you, Robert.

    Now I know that there is a 'no gliders' rule, but I'm assuming that the rule maker had in mind, when drafting this rule, sports gliders and sailplanes rather than transport gliders. If so, I hope that you'lll indulge me by allowing me to offer .....

    You have, Mike, every part of the three designations I have for this late WW2 military transport glider - except Kockums!

    Apparently at low loadings this glider is said to have been aerobatic. But equally it's recorded that the wing of the prototype broke up under tow. If the pilot had told me that he was planning a few outside loops, I'd have declined the flight and stayed in the bar!

    Over to Scotland!

    Thanks Mike

    I've had a nice wee break from the forum - sadly I don't have the endless source of avionettes and backyard specials that you guys have access to !

    Here's one that I couldn't find in the forum history, but it won't last long, I fear. (It's a parasol, chaps.....)

    (PS I like the way you left on the 'Rising Sun', Mike - had me going for a while - nothing like a red herring....)

    Mike, that is the one and only Albatros L.103 where variations of the wing-sweep were tested.

  19. #19069
    Of course it is, Robert. The great Kurt Tank was involved in this one....over to you -

  20. #19070
    Thanks, Mike!

    I think it's been a while since we had the last floater.

    Sorry for the grainy picture.

    Looks like one of the Donnet-Denhauts, of which there were many variants. DD2 ? Don't recognise the spotty paint job, though.....

  22. #19072
    Good observation, Mike!
    It is the DD.2. I had hoped that somebody might get puzzled about that Lozenge-type camouflage.

    Your turn now.

  23. #19073
    Thanks Robert.

    Tubby but racy........( a relative has visited before)

    Think Kevin is holding back on this one - west coast USA.....in Aerofiles but no photo.

    If you get it, please continue, as I'm out for a while.

  25. #19075
    Just got back from the west coast, been out there all week. I did not see an Emsco B-7 though.
