Hi pomme homme
That is her! Could it be that in fact 2 examples were built or is that a fable?
Your turn, sir
Thank you, Walter, and my apologies for the delay.
I cannot find reference to a second Jumbo having been completed but there are suggestions that it had been started - along with various derivations (q.v. http://aeroyonnax.free.fr/article.php3?id_article=117). Sadly this was another example of the best laid plans ..... !
Anyhow, moving on - here's a photograph from an angle that shows the unusual feature of this aeroplane, one which I don't think will tax many for long.

Hi pomme homme
Thank you for the link to the Léglise/L-400/L-500 article. Very much appreciated and I am sure I`m not the only one
It's a pleasure, Walter. However you'll note that it's the second part of the article and I haven't yet found the first part online.
Would love to join in with Mike's high-aspect-ratio flivver, but I'm in the toils just now.
Made the mistake of allowing a Windows upgrade (to 1903) which duly went belly-up and has left me sans C drive !
Am doing this on a wee basic laptop and hoping my PC guru comes back soon......
Hi Lefty taking shamelessly advantage of your PC failure may I affirm that this is the Hurel Dubois HD10 as you all know!"Originally Posted by lefty

Your affirmation is correct, Carlo - although I'd hoped that someone might, viewed from that angle, think that it was some sort of weird canard pusher! It is the high aspect ratio wing HD.10. Thus Italy is the next country on our seeming European grand tour!
Back in business now -

Good morning boys and girls sorry for the delay but the b.... imgur changed procedures etc.etc.
Anyway I'm sure the above won't win any beauty contest!
Cheers

Hi Carlo.
That should be the Johnson Uniplane NX13680 from 1934.
Hi Robert
that's the one
Cheers
Carlo
Would you mind looking into PM?
Thanks, Carlo, I have answered already.
Here is a nice little biplane of similar size.
That should be the Crawford Courier

Which it is of course.
Probably an early example of an ultralight aircraft when this designation of planes was still unknown.
Over to you, Uli.
I never thought that egg planes were real – until I found this.

HP 75 Manx
Chris
Yes, of course that's the "egg"

Should be an easy one. It's from Yugoslavia I had the ID but lost it over the years so I've been trying to find it again but can't.

Hi Chris
This 2-seater is the Ikarus 252 (also known as the 1.Maj or Prvi Maj)
Some details for your records.
2-seat sport/trainer
one 60hp Walter Mikron II piston engine
max. speed 98 mph, ceiling 13.125ft, range 295 miles
wingspan 33.465ft; length 24.770ft
DETAILS: The Ikarus Model 252 (1. Maj or Prvi Maj) was an original all wood design light plane designed and built by Tvornica Aero i Hydroplana IKARUS. It was intended as light touring and training aircraft for aero club use and developed to meet a Government requirement. However, the competing Cijan C-3 Trojka (qv) was selected for production and development was soon halted. Only a single prototype was completed with one 60hp Walter Mikron II engine and this was flown during the 1950s. The aircraft was also referred to as the 1.Maj or Prvi Maj.
Production: 1
Thanks Walter over to you
Chris
A twin engined motor glider. Engine/props retracted in fuselage fairing when not in use.

You obviously know this one, Uli - I was thinking the car looked British !
Probably an old Wartburg 311 (the car, not the plane)
