Koolhoven F.K.34, which didn't end well:
Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
Oh, those two photographs, Ferry_vO, are crying out for captions, such as.......
(1) I told you that you couldn't make a banked turn whilst you're still on the water!
(2) Now grasp the handle on the cable, wait for the slack to be taken up and for launch to gather pace and up you come on your floats - yes, you're water skiing!
Quite correct and quite fast Ferry...and yes Pomme-homme I noticed from the beginning ....
that the darn thing wasn't very stable on its floats!
Ferry please go ahead and enjoy your Sunday
Cheers

Not one of Koolhoven's greatest designs for sure! No one asked for it, and none were ever sold.
Next:

Hi Ferry VO!
Your mystery Aircraft is a Emsco B8 of 1930 of which, I believe, only one was ever built....
Cheers

Absolutely correct, BG!

And here's my next mystery while I apologize for the delay (had a busy morning):

The Argentinian Colibri?

I'm extrapolating here. The aeroplane is reminiscent of the Miles Magister and the Turkish MKEK-4 Ugur. The latter evolved from the THK-15. The former was manufactured under licence by THK. I've failed to find an image of the THK-15 but wonder whether that's what you've posted, Baragouin?
p.s. having seen Green's post subsequent to typing and posting the above, I think that I'm wrong and he's right.
Hi Mr. Green
Your beauty may be the W.German Kiebitz of 1959. Seen designations Model 501 (by manufacturer Merckle Flugzeugbau) and LF-2 (by designer Prof-Infg. Hermann Winter of LF-1 Zaunkonig fame).
LF-2 apparently stood for Langsamflugzeug 2 (Slow Airplane no.2)
Registration D-EJUG. A second example was not finished.
Thank you Mr. Green
The other half is on he backside of the photo
The company`s only type with retractable gear.
I found myself thinking Gardan Supercab, but that doesn't tally with the photo.
Hi pomme homme
It is not from France (or Europe). Only one built and that was lostt during tests.
Hi Mr. Green
The Aeronca Arrow it is!
Please surprise us
Morning Gents. This is a Focke-Wulf GL 18 airliner.
Thanks Green.
Here is one yearning to be outside in the sunlight...
