Thanks Mike.

How about a sleek bipe that is drawing some attention?

**giruXX** · September 27th, 2021, 04:21

on we go ...

**lefty** · September 27th, 2021, 04:24

That, Uli, looks like an L-40 Meta-Sokol.

**giruXX** · September 27th, 2021, 04:44

simply because it is one !

Thanks Uli - the distinctive cabin shape had me reaching for the Československá letadla right away ! I like the reverse tricycle gear on this one too..surprised there aren't more around.

Here's something earlier (from a recently-published magazine). At the time, the largest aeroplane designed in its country of origin -

The Martinsyde Raymor before it made a - short - hop at Quidi Vidi

**lefty** · September 27th, 2021, 06:47

Yes Robert - it did fly for 10 hours or so before that disastrous day !

Over to you -

**fabulousfour** · September 27th, 2021, 07:07

Thanks, Mike.

On with a neat parasol.

My first thoughts were Brochet. Then they were Salmson Cri-Cri. But neither precisely fits the bill.

Not from France, Mike, but it is European.
About a dozen of the type were built as a trainer.

**fabulousfour** · September 27th, 2021, 23:51

The company is probably best known for a two-seat trainer which held several speed records before and after the war.
One of these aircraft was the basis for an experimental jet built after the war.
