Ta, Kevin.
Can't remember whether I posted this before - someone looking for a fight !
My first thought : ' That looks like a Cessna Birddog with a turboprop conversion." And it is! It's a SIAI-Marchetti SM.1019.

And now for something completely different...
Ah, the 'Bisontennial'..

So is Yann going to post and say it is home on the range?
I'm thinking we might try the "no mercy" rule for a bit; meaning, if you know the thing then tell us straight away! (I'm guilty as well)
It's the DeHavilland Canada C-8A Buffalo Augmentor Wing Jet-STOL research aircraft, aka the NASA 716 (N-716NA), nicknamed the "Bisontennial" as it was made in the bicentennial year 1976.
Better...?

Now we are cookin'.
Ferry!
Not to discount Lefty who apparently knew this one as well...
Here's a photo of a four-engined Buffalo landing on an aircraft carrier..:

(Note that the aircraft has no tailhook..!)
Here's a cute little aircraft:

Looks like something the kids might have pulled out of a pack of cornflakes in the fifties.
Er, am I wrong or is this a light aircraft ??????
A few years earlier, very light and from a major manufacturer. Couldn't find anything else on my disk to post.

Ferry, I can't believe that mine of obscurities is drying up !
Anyway, found this one - indeed by a major manufacturer (of light aircraft ), namely a Piper PA-8 Skycycle, eh ?
(Interesting - the main net source says the forward fuselage is made from an F4U drop-tank, whereas the Jane's of the period says it is from a P-38. Anyone confirm which is right ? Kevin ?)
!
Wikipedia claims the fuselage of the PA-3 Cub Cyclewas made from a F-4U Corsair belly tank, not the Pa-8.

Well, we have lots of floaty pushers to keep jhefner happy (!) but here's something instead that maybe proves that not everything ugly came out of Gaul !
Renault 12S engines? Thinking a one-off Sud-Ouest/SNCASO or SNCAC number. Hmm...
Gosh, you are right. I looked at the pic and dove right into the books. :isadizzy:
Edit: Will pass along info on the Skycycle if I have anything.
By the way, Kevin, those engines are by Argus...........
Polish? CSS-12 with test tail
