The same - only flew once, killing the pilot I believe ....

Thank you, Jim.
I believe that the SS.4 was flown twice, both by the same pilot. Apparently he enjoyed the first flight so much that he wanted a second - which was that in the course of which it crashed, killing him.
Now here's something less than sleek. We haven't had a motorglider for some time. This is an early example.

A DFS "Motorzögling" perhaps ?

I can see from where you're coming, Uli. I doubt that there was a country in Europe that didn't produce a Zögling type glider in the twenties. I don't know if DFS produced a 'motorzögling' glider but, it it did, this is not it. This originated in a different European country and was the handiwork of someone who shared a name with a better known, and more prolific, constructor in a yet another European country!

I have something less grainy (and hence easier?)

It reminds me of a Monnett Sonnerai, but it has too many non-common aspects to be so, I fear!

Thanks Uli - running out of time tonight, so please excuse a recycling job - it's all the rage !
This rather smooth twin has been here twice before, but quite a few years ago, with a big gap in between.

That's her, Robert - - that old girl would be 60 now - if she is still around ?

Thanks, Mike, I fear all the Flamingos were scrapped after the program was terminated.
Here is something even more modern and in colour.
