A little grainy but unique.

This plane is not quite a sailplane but nonetheless also hasn't received a proper engine
It is the Haessler-Villinger HV.1 Mufli powered by muscles and flew about 700 m in its longest flight as early as 1937!
Well known manufacturer that is still building aircraft today, though only in slow rate.
He has quite a reputation for his vehicles built for the road!
You got it, Uli, it is the Piaggio.
And the vehicle I referred to of course is the Vespa.
Thank you Robert. My next is a somewhat smaller and more recent "insect".

I know that one from the Flugzeugforum, a legendary mystery long time ago.
I'll leave the solution to somebody else.
The designer of this craft also built an ornithopter.

I like your clues, Uli - it gives the Fife Detective Agency a chance to get the little grey cells working...
In this case, I've come up with a gentleman called Adalbert Schmid (Bert Smith) who flapped around for a while - this is his earlier Mosquito model.
well the next clue would have been to congratulate fabulousfour to his „break“ (German: Pause)
It’s the Pause Mücke from 1939 designed by the mentioned Adalbert Schmid.

Thank you.
At risk of incurring the wrath of Moses (!), here's a real grainy wee horror........as you can see, a competitive machine, although tragically unsuccessful.....
The Peyret Monoplane of 1923 that was registered for the Lympne Light Aeroplane Trials of that year. I think that this is the Douglas engined example (which wikipedia says didn't actually attend) rather than the Sergant engined example in which Alexis Maneyrol lost his life.
According to my source, Mike, (Douglas Light Aero Engines, by Brian Thorby) this is the Douglas-engined Peyret, and it was this one, rather than the two Sergant-engined models, which suffered a catastrophic structural failure.
They were brave pilots in those days.....
Over to you, sir
Thank you, Mike. Here's a somewhat minimal aeroplane that doesn't seem to have put in an appearance here hitherto.
Hi pommehomme
Could this be the Poullin JB-30 light ag-plane (F-WGIR)?
Not could be, but is! Over to you - and no birds from Vlissingen, please!
Thanks pommehomme
Like the Scheldemeeuw a tiny aircraft. And it has a bird`s name (sort of)
That, Sir, is the M-5 "Phoenix" from N. Masterov in Rossija.
Nice little bird.
That sir, is 100% correct.
Cheers
Here is a wee bird with an unconvential look.
Not too much in the net about this bird, however, it is in aerofiles (without photo).
