Well, I do declare, I found this lil' ol' rascal.
Scragg's Last Laugh - and he wasn't joking ! Doubtless fuelled with finest Mountain Dew, it apparently did stagger 10 feet in the air...or maybe it was off a cliff......

Mike has the last laugh!Interesting shape to say the least.
FYI, this is also listed as Scroggs across the net.
Fire away-
Wee pusher... sorry about the pic....
Re; Scroggs.... there are some interesting photos on airwar.ru of it without the fins. One can now see that it was based on the folded paper dart model aircraft. Very interesting......
As for the pusher...no idea at the mo.

Hi Mike
Your Wee Pusher is a design by Stelio Frati. Named the Movo FM-1 Passero and already flown 1947, driven by a 20hp Macchi engine.
That's the one, Walter. Some more modesty from other regulars, I think - we are a bashful lot !
Jane's 1949/50 has it as the MF-1, and mentions the MF-2 , a two-seat version with 4-cyl engine. Did that ever leave the drawing board ?
It is paramount that I point out that the plane in the foreground is the subject for the next round.
Okay, the run of pushers has me going!
This is the AHRLAC Holdings (Paramount Group/Aerosud) Ahrlac (Not a very good name). She is out of South Africa.

And the subject of a post in the FSX forum!!!

Hi Kevin
That is her. You know your classics! First flight 9 days ago.
Please surprise us (again)

Sorry I missed your remark/question
I am rather certain that the two-seater was never built.
Regarding the designation MF-1 or FM-1, I like to maintain the latter. When you use friend Google with Stelio Frati Passera, or just Movo Passero, most (if not all) sites quote FM-1.
Keeping your feet dry??
Let's circle around to this one.
This is (or was?) an Aircraft with (pseudo)-circular wings by Mr. Feast a guy from downunder.....Let's circle around to this one.
BG
Yes.
Thanks Moses!
Let's go back to something more orthodox......what might this be? (sorry for the fuzzy photo)
GB
I think, BG, this is the tubby wee Breguet 470 Fulgur which nobody seemed to love, and which, after some long-distance racing, found itself in the Spanish Civil War !
...and the Fulgur she is indeed my dear friend
Your turn please!
BG
I'm obsessed with floaters (but am getting therapy for it....)
This one is missing its Anzani engine.....
This is a bit of a stinker. It's a European model a long way from its homeland - where it served along with the landplane version - here's one with an engine !
Mike, yes it is a stinker....Wiki is certainly no help looking at 3 pot Anzani applications!
Keith
This one was serving at the same time.......in the same country. Final clue !
Hi Lefty!
The second pic is a Ryan Aircraft exported to China (probably a Ryan B3 on floats)....but the mystery remains concerning the first stinker...
BG
Right, we'll move on - BG is correct with the Ryan (a B-5 Brougham actually), but the Chinese also purchased a couple of Raab-Katzenstein aircraft - this one an RK-9.
Now for something completely different - and not a float in sight ! Any choppophiles out there ??
Hi Mike
Never realized I was a choppophile. Have accepted it and will have to live with it.
Have been called worst names
Is your offering the Jensen Model 21 of 1947/1948 (NX31224)?
It is the Jensen, Walter, confirming you as a Champion Choppophile.......
A machine that came from way up in the mountains of Washington State.
