You got it, Walter ! Thought the T-tail might cause a few scratched heads........ Over to you, sir.
A helicopter this time.
looks like the S.A. 340.001 - prototype of the S.A. 341 Gazelle with the "Alouette" tail-rotor
Mix of planes in the background hints at Paris Airshow (1969?)

hi srgalahad :salute:
Yes, this is the SA-340-01 which first flew in April 1967. You know your classics
Your turn, please
Not so classic but bearing a similarity to one..

Thank you, noble knight.
here is the next challenge, with personality if not beauty:
an early incarnation of the V-tailed banana-body

This one caused some headache, Dan. Obviously looks like a Farman tail, but, big problem, it's not a sesquiplane! And that nacelle is on no Farman I could find.
After a lot of digging, came up with the answer.
It's the Belgian-built Farman-Nélis GN.2 Had not come across this before. Nice one.
Indeed it is. Impressive detective work.
I don't know what I could find more obscure next time...
The floor is yours, Lefty.
Quite difficult enough, thanks Dan. This should present no problems...
The one and only Arado AR.67
This one uses a 2-handed pull start cranking system.....well, perhaps not.
I don't think that gentleman has consulted Health & Safety before trying this manoeuvre. A stumble forward could be a tad painful if the motor starts......
Could it be a Cavalry officer demonstrating how to tame a restive mount?
That's the only known photo from the single performance of the Wild Bill Hickock Wild West Rodeo and Aeronautical Show

Here's another vintage photo of it (with modifications) which gives a slightly better view of the planform. Hails from the cornfields of Kansas, circa 1929. Several built from kit form....plans are reportedly still available through the EAA. A bit grainy but Kevin likes 'em that way :mixedsmi:
I see white flags waving amongs the rows of corn. This is the Allison (ALCO) Sportplane of 1928/29.
A nice little floater....
hi DHC2Pilot :salute:
Your floater resembles the many Boris V. Chernov (Che-20, Che-22 etc.) designs from Russia, but the tail and floats seem different.
I had this as the Refly Pelican, and after further research I find that it is the same as the Chernov CHE-22 Pelican. I believe my photo shows the prototype which would account for the different tail and tip floats.
Thanks DHC2Pilot :salute:
I overlooked the Refly Pelican. Story goes that the Refly company, also from Russia, developed this (unauthorised?) version of the Che-22. Main difference was the use of the separate fixed floats whereas the Chernov Che-22 had no separate floats, but special wingtip doubling as floats.
Next one is post-war and aerobatic.
