Thank you P-H
Loved to visit the annual RSA meetings and learned a lot about the F-P... aircraft.
This neat little aircraft was at the time described as a powered glider.

Hi Wout !
This is a Botali-Du Riveau PAMA Type 1 of 1934....
Cheers

Hi Baragouin
It sure is. Looking forward to the next brain teaser!
Thanks Wout!
Let us remain in a known territory.....what about this rather horrible contraption?
Cheers
BG
The Breguet Colibri of 1924.
Hi P-H
That beauty is the PMB-78 Le Faucon homebuilt by Pierre Milon and members of the Aéro-club de Brive
(PMB-78 for Pierre Milon, Brive, 1978). Used several parts of Stampe/Nord SV-4 and Piper aircraft such as landing gear and tail feathers.
F-PYFO and first flown 19 January 1979(?). 100hp Continental O-200-A engine
..... and what colour is the pilot's underwear, Walter? But seriously, despite this being the sole PMB-78, I didn't think that it would tax you too hard or for too long. Back to you, sir!
Thank you P-H
Only one clue for the next challenge. She is not from France!
Hi Kevin
I removed the question mark so now your reply reads as Blume Bl-503. It is.
Registration D-EKUB and I understand that this was the original Bl-500 modified to Bl-503 (different engine).
Look forward to your next challenge
Knew it was a Blume and ran across the same photo.
And now for something completely different...
It's that man Weymann again ! The 66 ?
Haha....busted! That should be it on the Weymanns for awhile. At least until some obscure design surfaces...
Suds for Mike.
Thanks Kevin. Yours truly is on yet another purge - 'Sober October'. The weight has to go. Mind you, if Scotland beat the Springboks on Saturday* it might be difficult to adhere to that...... (*it's the Rugby World Cup - not getting much exposure over the Pond, I gather.....)
Here's something nice and conventional -
It may be an 'exotic European sport' (Australia ? South Africa? Japan? Argentina?) but the USA have a team in there too. Scotland managed to get the better of them.........!
AS for my mystery, the country of origin is not represented in the rugby world......
I suspect it will be a case of 'Allez les Noirs', PH..........but it's early days yet.
However, in the meantime, BG now has a better photo of the P.W.S. 21bis ! Good spotting, sir.
Seen this one before. Have an idea of the country and year now hoping my memory will kick into gear...
Got it! it's the McCarthy Air Scout of 1925.

Air Scout 1925 = 2pChwM; 45hp Anzani; span: 26'0" length: 19'10" load: 460# v: 120/x/40 range: 300; ff: 1/15/25 (p: C D Swinson).
Semi-cantilever wing. In Jan 1926, Swinson flew it from the factory to Grand Rapids, some 18 miles, and even gained 3,000' altitude, in spite of one cylinder that blew off shortly after take-off!
