She looks a bit like the AVA AF-2 "D-IAFZ" but the engine definitely doesn't tally....

I'd rather go for a Salmson Phrygane.

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2017, 07:25

Sorry, not from Europe.

**fabulousfour** · September 20th, 2017, 08:35

The engine looks very Siemens-like. Might be the Gillis Crusader.

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2017, 16:21

Sorry Robert

The engine is a Kinner B-5.

Had a Ryan vibe at first glance but not anymore. She is a funky design!

**fabulousfour** · September 20th, 2017, 21:46

Didn't find any suitable plane with this engine on aerofiles.

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2017, 22:07

I hoped the weed were a good clue: that's all in the taiga!

The illustrious designer has only built two airplanes. No photos exist from the first one and this one is the second in its first form. First flight: 1 July, 1935.

Give us enough hints, Uli, and eventually some of our grey cells will wheeze into action !

This is the Van Valkenburgh Bayamo monoplane.

. Nice one.

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2017, 01:29

Mike, would you mind to tell us how you found that kite?

**lefty** · September 21st, 2017, 03:10

Indeed - it was the mention of 'taiga'. Russia was already ruled out, and obviously some of you had been trawling Aerofiles without success.

That left Canada, and as luck had it, I embarked on a back-to-front search of the Putnam 'Canadian Aircraft since 1909'. There she was !

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2017, 03:27

Thanks, Mike, I tried googling for that Canadian plane, but without that luck you had.

Sometimes printed paper seems much more favourable than imaginary bytes

**lefty** · September 21st, 2017, 03:32

Well I was beginning to think that all those lovely books I bought after retirement had been rendered redundant in this electronic age, but they have their uses !

**giruXX** · September 21st, 2017, 07:37

The

goes to Mike of course, whose grey cells worked well again

**lefty** · September 21st, 2017, 10:01

Thank you, sir. I'll resist the urge to subject you to another floater and put up a modest biplane - lots of clues here......

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2017, 10:27

That looks very much like a Gerner G.II.

**lefty** · September 21st, 2017, 10:42

Actually in its later incarnation as the Adler G.II.Rc, but we'll not split hairs! Over to ff....

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2017, 11:16

Thanks, Mike!

Something slightly bigger now.

Could that be a Bernard 192T?

(Although it's hard to tell a difference between the 190 and the 192)

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2017, 21:06

Close enough, Carlo, it is the 190T

Over to Italy.

No takers yet? This guy comes from Russia (in those days Soviet Union)

Hi Carlo

Could this be the Leningradets Sport (1962) by L. Kostin, L. Sekinin and Valery Tatsiturnov from the Leningrad area?

**Baragouin** · September 23rd, 2017, 02:37

Hi Walter!
That's her the Leningradetz Ленинградец flown in 1962 by Taciturnov Sekirin Kostin. May I add that if you should require additional information on such like russian amateur aircrafts please Google Ленинградец (not Leningradetz) and you will find factual information on further items like "Aist", "Riiga", "Malysh" etc (many sites admit (horrible) Google translation)
Cheers
Your turn of course
