    I was right off the scent. I assumed that it dated from the late forties or early fifties - which is where I was looking. Do you have any more information concerning Eleaume RE.1, Walter? My library and the internet is silent and, according to the index, it's not even mentioned in Trait d'Union.

    I assume, Uli, that you didn't intend to leave the registration showing on the Iniziative Industriali Italian Sky Arrow 600 Sport!

  3. #19278
    The Eleaume appears in "Les Avions Francais 1965-1990”
    And, no, I intentionally let the registration on (trying to direct you to the US)

    Sky Arrow is correct

    Thank you, Uli. I've just placed an order for the book.

    In the circumstances, I think that 'open house' is the way to go.

    A one-off. Straight tubing was out of fashion at the time, I guess

    Hi Green
    This pusher is the Vorta Aircraft Corp. Vorta. A single-seat lifting body type designed/built by Carl Bouwens. 42 hp Rotax 532 engine.
    Understand she was nearing completion around 1996, but I never saw confirmation she was actually flown.
    Also have no idea whether the planned two-seater was built.

    A motor glider on which I have disappointingly little info (except name and country of origin)

    That looks like the Kocjan Bak Motorglider from Poland.
    If correct, I have to declare Open House since I'm away from home until tomorrow evening.

    They must all be at church this morning, Uli. This is the XV-4 Hummingbird.

  16. #19291
    Presumably. And yes it's the Lockheed XV-4 Hummingbird

    Just to show no prejudice against small aircraft, here's a neat one which hasn't appeared here before, methinks, although a relative may have...

    It appears to be a Gatard Statoplan AG.02 Poussin.

  19. #19294
    It is indeed, Mike - not even an alternative designation !

  20. #19295
    Thank you, Mike.

    You may be pleased to learn that the attached is not French, homebuilt or particularly obscure - and, it appears, to be extant today!

    This must be the THK11 (turkish)...are you sure she's still extant (what a nasty neologism instead of existant)?
    Cheers

    Carlo beat me!
    It could be that the aircraft in the Turkish Air Force Museum is a replica.

  23. #19298
    Indeed, Carlo has it. It is the T.H.K. 11. I said that it is extant because, when searching to ensure that this aeroplane had not put in a prior appearance here (!), I came across a photograph of it, on wikipedia, the caption to which is that the sole example produced is on display in the Ankara Turkish Aeronautical Museum. And we all know that wikipedia is infallible, don't we! Anyhow, over to Italy for the next mystery.

    Hi Mike!
    The unthinkable happened, I beat Walter! But do not worry it won't happen again!
    Here's my today's offer dealing with a motorglider of the thirties….
    Cheers
