Busy morning in the mystery thread. I like that.
Cheers to BG on the SM.84 We need one for FS!
As far as Lefty's latest putt-putt, hmm...

Ha! Knew it was German. It's the Wagener HW4a with the...wait for it...Festenberg-Pakisch engine. Nice of Lefty to leave that arcane clue in there.
Good spotting there, Moses - over to you sir ( you've got to appreciate a man who knows his Festenberg-Pakisches....) Stein of Schottenhamel for the Texan, please......
Thanks and with Schottenhamel in mind, on to our next contestant.
And there was me thinking it was a Fokker C.V-E.
We may set the record for planes in one day. Over to Lefty.
Looks American, but isn't.

Hi Ferry - well you of all people should have got that one - and you did !
Well, the two-tone pre-war KLM colour scheme was a giveaway.
Here's a nice photo:

Hi Ferry, I know what it is and I know where you found the picture. But your secret is safe with me
Maybe you should give the answer Huub, as the others seem stumped...
Hint: Dutch, didn't make it to production as a product from a bigger name was chosen in stead.
Hint 2: It may be hard to tell from this photo, but it is a two-seat trainer (Side by side configuration).

Assumed it was Dutch and had a good old search - only description anything close was the NVI F.K.32 but that was supposedly a tandem-cockpit job. Give in !
So close Mike, but my mystery is the NVI (Nederlandse Vliegtuigindustrie; Dutch aircraft industry) C.III, which lost the competition to the Fokker S.II. The S.II was a side-by-side trainer so I assume the C.III was as well, but I can't be sure. After the failure of the C.III the designer Joop Carley sold his company to a certain Frits Koolhoven (Who had returned from England where he worked for BAT).
His F.K.32 does bear a resemblance to the C.III..(And not just on the outside, as the F.K.32 was also a one-off that failed to attract buyers!):
Anyway, OH gents!

Hmm, no wonder I couldn't find it - can't find a reference to it anywhere ! Can you put a year on that, Ferry ??
The first flight was on September 13th, 1922 from Waalhaven and was done by Joop Carley himself.

Cheers
