Thank you, Lefty. Here's something that looks a little out of place. I don't think that it's put in an appearance here before. Or, at least, a google search suggests as much.

That one, sir, is the Taylor Wagtail ?
It is indeed. Apparently it's the last known image of the original Taylor C.103 Wagtail, standing on a secondhand car lot in Digbeth, Birmingham, in 1951, after Fred Taylor had part-exchanged it for a car on deciding to emigrate to Australia. So the ball is back in your court, sir.
Yes, a curious tale of the little home-build.
Here's an unusual warrior, bearing the insignia of.....???
Looks like a certain Eastern European warrior...
Could it be a modified Stampe&Vertongen SV-5?

You are both way off-course...... Not European.
Maybe a Curtiss export to South America somewhere. Can't seem to reconcile the roundel.
I don't know whether you count Romania as Europe but, if not, could it be related to the SET-7K?
Hey PH, my first thought was Romania but Lefty said it was non-European.

- it's the Curtiss-Wright CW-14R Osprey, and therein lies the mystery.
As far as I can ascertain, the CW-14R was delivered to Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, but the insignia doesn't seem right - the roundel isn't the Colombian one, and all others supposedly have horizontal tail bars.
However, I found this pic purporting to be of Venezuelan CR-14's, (two of them anyway) so maybe it's one of those !
Didn't exactly hit it on the head but thanks.
This derelict is a bit tricky..

Yes I found that one too, as well as this one - one wonders why they went to all that trouble.
You'd think they could have found an old DC-4 or something.........movie directors are an odd bunch !
Here's a nice easy sporty model - -

That Convair reminds me of the 747 at Dunsfold: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../4/1542450.jpg that was made for the james Bond film Casino Royale, though if you pay attention you can also see it in the highly recommended 'Theory of everything'!

Hi Lefty! Hello Moses thanks for waking me up!Me too ! He finally awoke anyway
And here goes my small wee (french) tourer...

I suspect that's the Peyret Mauboussin PM X, but I haven't had a chance to search for photographs thereof in order to confirm or deny my suspicion.
This is more than a suspicion dear friend! It is indeed the Peyret-Mauboussin PM-X of 1928...
Your turn please...
BG
Thank you, BG. I'm afraid I'm busy with the sheep today (currently on my tea break!) but I'll try to post something this evening unless someone else cares to step into the breach in the meantime.
With apologies for the delay, here's a little curiousity!
Hi PH.
I'm probably trying to push a square block through a round hole - but there are some similarities to the Dart Kitten?
A wee bit similar, G, but this is, as every schoolboy will tell you, the immortal Burgoyne-Stirling Dicer. Yes, really......
