    It is! :salute:

    Thank you - needed the clue - these jobs look very similar.

    Here's one that as far as I know looks like nothing else - a biplane floater with a difference -

    With such a tail is useless to hide the origin.
    But it is not what you think (and I don`t pretend I know what you think). Would you believe there is a slight USA connection?

  6. #3606
    It's the Klemm Kl106. It was intended for licence building in the U.S. but that came to nowt.

    (I wonder what I was supposed to think ????)

    Hi Mike, as usual (most of the times, nearly always) you are right. I wonder what ruined the USA plans with the Kl-106. My guess is that you were thinking shall I take a before dinner, or not
    Anxiously looking for the next one (photo, not )

    Watching the footie, of course, (today's big 'thriller', Brazil v Portugal, was a 90-minute yawn)

    Time for another trainer which hasn't appeared here before.....

    Is it me, or are the referees instructed to make Brazil the champion?

    Mike, is this the Ali Viberti Musca (1 or 2)?. Cannot see the constructor`s plate in your picture.

  10. #3610
    Blast! It's the Musca 1. Will have to dig deeper....... Campari soda for the Dutch gentleman, please.

    Re the footie, it is all a conspiracy to make sure the men in orange don't walk off with the trophy. Personally, my money's on the Argentinians.

  11. #3611
    Hmmm....I had the Musca in my queue. Attachment 11290

    A Bowers Fly Baby?

  17. #3617
    This is way out of my comfort zone (and I suspect Moses' too) but it doesn't look like any pics of the Bowers I have seen - wrong tail shape, gear, etc.

    Suspect it's something cobbled up on a sheep farm in the South Island.........

    Mike, I agree.
    But..... you can be are astonished to see what those amateur builders can do to a design. Different tail, two seats instead of one, put a canopy over an open cockpit, change the gear. etc. etc.
    This is my way of admitting that I donot know. My next closest guess is that is from a country North of the USA and still has some Fly Baby influence.
    Naki will tell us in due course

  19. #3619
    No not a Bowers Fly Baby...its a single seat design ...lefty is on the right track.......

    interesting.. rear fuselage, fin/rudder and cowl look stolen from a cub (et al). Airport looks like Kamloops or someplace in the Okanagan. Wish I had the time to dig..

    He even left the name on - it's the Andrews A-1 Special, ZK-BLU. (Sorry, North Island , not South :mixedsmi

  22. #3622
    You can read that?

    Yep Andrews A-1...scaled prototype to a planned ag aircraft which didnt happen. Sorry I was thinking where it lives now (Blenheim in the South Island) - didn't think about where it orginated from which was Wellington in the North Island.

    over to you Lefty.....

    Something different -

  24. #3624
    The Bristol Mercury radial was throwing me off the scent. This is the China imported Breda Ba.27.

  25. #3625
    Fine piece of detective work there, sir. Oriental Breda it is. Over to Texas.
