the colors are the flag of Egypt. I can't place it, tho.
Hi Chris
The Paraguay 1 by a company named AeroTalleres Guarani SrL from Paraguay. Claimed to be the country`s first indigenous design, but seems there were many Beechcraft Bonanza/Debonair influences. Originally aimed at the Paraguayan AF as trainer, but not ordered. First flown 1981, the 2-seat aircraft is still active in the hands of Flight Club Deportivo Yvytu at San Bernardino.
Google (aerotalleres guarani paraguay 1 Yvytu) and you will find quite some info and videos.
You got it. I had a link at one time to where I found some info on it but not now.

Hi Chris, congrats
CIAC ((Corporacion de la Industria Aeronautica Colombiana SA) built (from imported kits) at least 25 of these trainers for the Colombian AF. Last one delivered August 2014. This Legacy FG variant is locally known as the T-90 Calima.
Your turn, please
Nice little biplane

Aero Ae-04 ?
Right On over to you
Chris
Thanks Chris
Who's sporting this very smart paint job ?
Is this one Italian?
No, ph, not Italian.
That Sir is the Security S-1 Airster (X16047).
It is indeed the Security S-1-B Airster (think the S-1-A's were open cockpit jobs.)
Here is a parasol job with little tiny winglets.
Powered by a Hisso, this model was one of several from this notable designer of the mid 1920's/early 1930's built under his name. He also helped design a number of planes from a certain Long Beach, CA firm.
Another view-
From 1927. It is in Aerofiles but listed under the wrong maker. (I will credit that answer if you find it). There is mention on the net of it in other places.
The designer also built a couple of twin boom models, with one being a very strange looking aircraft designed for polar exploration.
Well the designer has to be Charles Rocheville - and I've been struggling around the Long Beach suspects (Emsco, Zenith,etc) and can't come up with anything other than the Rocheville Special !
Hi Moses!
The strange looking thing for polar expeditions must be the Rocheville Arctic Tern designed by Charles Rocheville and the Long Beach company might be the Albatross Aircraft Co....but my detective work stops there!
Well over the last few days I don't seem to score many points do I?
Cheers

It is indeed a Rocheville design. Listed at Aerofiles as this:
<center>Rockville
</center> <center>INFORMATION NEEDED</center> <small>Location unknown.</small>
c.1927 = 4pChwM; 150hp Hisso A. [3299].
Looks like someone had submitted the information and was just off a bit with the name. Rockville-Rocheville...
BG, you are correct on the Arctic Tern. What an oddball!
Since Lefty offered up Mr. Rocheville initially, I say that is good enough on this mislabeled effort.
Well how about an inverted sesquiplane ?
Hi Mike
My vote would go to the LD-261 by Louis Delasalle (built by MDG-Société Matériel Denis-Gruson), although there could be another LD- candidate.
Close enough, Walter, although this one is the LD.45 -the engine seems to be the only substantial difference.Over to you sir.
