Well it's an Anson, but why someone's cut off half the wings I know not !

It is an Anson. Some wacky Canadian pilot got a little careless.
Suds for Lefty.
And there was me thinking that it was the rare Sea Anson, with the outboard wings folded oh so snugly that you wouldn't know that they were there!
Rob obviously using the Seine excuse to obscure the fact that he was the miscreant pilot......
Here's a jazzy little number, not difficult but fun..
The Texaco Travel Air Model R?

Indeed, Ferry, this was the 'Mystery Ship' acquired by the Italian government for reasons best known to themselves!
Time for a new one, now that our 'King's day' is almost over. (Not that is was a great day to celebrate, with snow, hail, rain and temperature no higher than 8 degrees...) :

Hi Ferry
An Oberlerchner JOB-15?
Thanks Ferry
Against the (forum) rules, but this one is rare, I think.
She was completed, but not flown. The company stopped the development and decided to acquire a licence for a more conventional type of which it built a small number, with a different name.
The year is 1959
Continent is Europe
Those look like Lycoming engines but with Europe as a base I doubt that now.
Sorry, but no Lycomings
She was powered by twin C90s from the competitor.
If it helps... I could not find her on Google. Maybe my search qualifications are below par.
Btw, she is German

Is that a tailfin of the Moynet Jupiter I spy stage right? If so, I'm glad that it's on display again. Maybe one day I'll see it alongside the Angers M.360-6.
The twin with tunnel vision is the Binder B-24.
All I could find/gather is here:
4-seat sport
two 90hp Continental C90 piston engines
DETAILS: In 1958 Binder Aviatik KG started development of the 4-seat B-24 sport aircraft and a prototype was completed in September 1959. The forward fuselage and the wings were constructed by Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau KG and the aircraft underwent ground trials, but the project was terminated in 1960. The B-24 had a very unusual configuration with two large propellers turning in prominent shrouds and the aircraft was powered by two 90hp Continental C90 engines. Instead Binder Aviatik acquired a licence for the much more conventional Piel CP-30 Émeraude and then built an own variant as the CP-301S Smaragd (qv).
Production: 1 (unflown)
Open House please
How about a pretty amphibian to decipher?
