F-AOQT, the Potez 584, Walter.
Over to the other Mike, eh ? If he posts another high-wing Piper clone , I shall go away and quietly slash my wrists......

It is indeed the Potez 584, Mike.
Until I saw that photo I hadn't thought that changing only the engine could alter the appearance of an aircraft so much.
Over to Scotland, please
And a sip to Carlo for identifying the location (Le Touquet)
BTW, it is Robert, not Walter
Sorry, Robert - had a long and stressful day.....please let Mike (pommehomme) carry on, as he correctly ID'd this machine, give or take a sub-variant or two. I merely tidied up.
Sorry, I'm no more available, getting up at dawn to try to work around the current heatwave and also to prepare for an event at the weekend where it looks like I'm going to cook (and by that I mean be cooked rather than do the cooking). So open house, I fear, is what it must be.

May I take the baton and conduct the orchestra? Above is my mystery….

With such a low resolution image, it's hard to get any feel for what it is - even to work out whether it's a single or dual seat aeroplane! But by reference to its overall appearance, I'll hazard a guess at a Carden Ford engined Chilton D.W.1.
Hi Mike!Originally Posted by pomme homme
My apologies for the terrible pic! Well I suppose that at this stage, to keep the thread moving on, it is best to reveal the name which, according to a usually reliable site, should be L.K.O.D.-4...
Cheers
Carlo
Open House!
Sorry she is a high wing type. But....-you must agree, with a difference!
When needed I will post a photo where she is bigger.
The fact that it appears to have its undercarriage retracted suggests a Heston Phoenix. But on reflection, the clothing of the people in the foreground seems to post-date 1952, when the Last Phoenix crashed, so maybe not .....

Looks like a Stinson Sentinel with retracting gear.
Original design. Now in a museum. Year 1947
A better photo. Will post a side view, if necessary.
Hmmmm
Thought at first it was a Heston Phoenix......wrong engine!
Keith (Back in the UK, just)
Photo while on the ground. Engine is a Lycoming O-290 and she is red all over (in the museum).
The Neybar N1 from Uruguay CX-AGI
Hi fabulousfour
That is her.
If there is any beer left and the temperatures allow it, please keep us busy
temp
Too early for a beer and temperatures are bearable yet but will rise to about 35 C this day...
So here is a mystery with a built-in fresh breeze.
The plane got several modifications during its life including a closed canopy, with a further modification the plane got some fame in a distance flight showing the safeness of amateur-built aircraft.
On aerofiles with photo...
Hi fabulousfour
Could this be the Bogardus Little Bee Gee (NX31250)?
sorry, Little Gee Bee (LGB)
Close, but no cigar, Walter.
The mystery is a few years older.
My final guess: The Long Wimpy?
That's the bird!
Here is the unretouched photo.
Over to you, Walter
Not a low wing, not a high wing.not a parasol wing type, but this one has FSW (forward swept wings).
an eastern entry: Youngerov A-17
