Don't have anything on the Nordflug photo or the small nymphish monoplane.
(Wish the Flight Archives was back up and running as it looks like a refugee from there).

Kevin, a little over two weeks ago I contacted Flight Global about their online archive, enquiring when and on what terms I might access it again. The response I received was that: 'As part of the FlightGlobal relaunch we had to re-platform the site and unfortunately the Flight PDF archive was not compatible with the new software so we had to take it down for maintenance and development. The archive will be back online soon, however I can't give you a date for this or tell you in what form it will be in. We will let our readers know as soon as the archive is back online'. Nothing has changed since then. I'm beginning to fear the worst.
Be sad to lose such a rich archive! Let's hope for the best.
Maybe the Queen Aeroplane from 1911?
1911: Queen Aeroplane Co (fdr: Willis McCormick), 197 St & Amsterdam Ave, Bronx Park NY. 1911: Queen School of Aviation, Los Angeles CA. 1913: Ended aircraft production.
1911 = 1pOmwM; 30hp Anzani. A variation of the previous. Also had Gnôme rotary.

Dear Kevin
Thanks very much for your most interesting message concerning the Alaparma Baldo. Unfortunately I have no idea of the Baldo's whereabouts after she left Italy bound for the UK on the other hand the relationship Mantelli/Alaparma was never entirely cleared up and besides a good part of their production is still shrouded in obscurity (political reasons?).
I apologize for this unorthodox way to contact you but as strange as it may seem no way to contact you via email (PC wouldn't rerecognize your mail box por via PM
Sorry for the above and as usual
Cheers
Carlo
Thank you, Carlo. I'm at a loss to understand why my e-mail address and my PM contact won't work for you. I'll try to contact you again, via both media, and see if it's a case of second time lucky if you reply to those!

Looks like the Commonwealth Woomera.
Yes Sir. I thought they built more than just two examples. The prototype crash didn't help.
Over to Robert-
Thanks, Kevin!
I find the Woomera quite an attractive design.
Here is an easy one that shouldn't bother you for too long.

Maybe the ISL-1 from Belgium?
Hi fabulousfour
For sure the ISL-1 from Belgium!
The ISL-1 is a new to me....who was the manufacturer? Year? Any other data - Nothing out on the web that I could find.
Cheers,
John
Hi John
Here is some info on the ISL-1 which I gathered over the years.
single-seat sport
one 30-35hp VW1192 piston engine
approx. wingspan 24.606ft (23ft?); length 15.1ft; height 5.5ft
DETAILS: The ISL-1 was an original canard wing design of Mr. Bernard Henssen. Construction started 1959 and the aircraft was reportedly completed and tested in September 1961. The ISL-1 (for Institute Saint-Laurent No.1) was built with help from students of the Institute Saint-Laurent, a technical school from the Liege area. The aircraft was only briefly flight tested, but further development was abandoned shortly afterwards. The aircraft was powered by one modified 30-35hp VW1192 car engine and did not have ailerons or a rudder. Control was achieved by using the endplates attached to the wing tips, differential for turns and symmetrical for climb and descent.
Production: 1
