Thanks Jim.
Turning back the clock a bit.

The one-and-only Renault O1. 'It is not known whether the aircraft ever flew' says one source, but, who cares....Renaults usually go pretty well !
Very good Mike! I could not find another photo or much info on the net about it.
It does look a little underpowered for its size if you ask me.
Here is a picture of the 'other end' and a 3-view, courtesy of Davilla & Soltan. 2 Renault 450hp, so not so sluggish...
Here's something to keep you going. I can't find any trace of it being here before, which I find odd, so if it has, apologies.
(The mysterous elevation of the rear fuselge has not been done by me, and I don't think Photoshop existed in those days !)
Caproni CA 37 methinks ....

The Clemson Special N372.
Thanks, Uli.
Strange that there is practically nothing about the Clemson at aerofiles except for the year.
Back to biplanes.
We have here a homebuilt aircraft constructed from plans first published in the late 1970ies.
Not a one-off, there are several machines with photos at airliners.net
This single-seater can be found at aerofiles, but without a photo.
Recommended engine is a Continental with 65 hp.
Not sure about the struts but could this be a Wolf W-11?
It is the Wolf Boredom Fighter!
There are some variations in the existing aircraft, but, now, it's a homebuilt.
It seems that the majority of these planes fly in Europe, the shown plane has an Italian registration and there are at least 3 more of them in Italy as well as at least two in the UK.
Over to you, Kevin
I thought the plane looked small in the photo. Lovely photo it is.
Keeping the biplane theme with this curious entry...
This was a testbed and seen in many forms. Open cockpit/enclosed cockpit, various engines, 2 and 3 bladed props, tested on floats even.
It looks like a Bristol Mercury radial in this particular photo but I can't find documentation for it.
From a well-known company.
Nobody else biting. Is it a Vought O2U-4 ?
Mike, it is the Vought V-70, based on the O3U which is real similar to the O2U.
Not a direct hit but close enough.
Over to Scotland!
Thanks Kevin - sorry for the delay Here's a neat little amphibian - (not in Aerofiles)
