Hi Kevin
Your waterbaby waas made by Thomas Purcell Jr. and his Flight Dynamics Inc. The Flightsail VII (N2035).
I understand she could be towed behind a speedboat when the C90 engine was removed.
Sticking to the wet element. A floatplane
A Chinese Shen Hang-1, perhaps?
correction: Feilong-1 from the Shanghai Aircraft Factory

Hi giruXX
Sorry, but not from China.
The photo depicts the sole floatplane prototype, but reportedly production of the land-based model was some 40.
Everything points to the Yak-12 except that rear fuselage profile, which is too deep ?
Could it be the Yak-10G ?

Kevin was very close, but Mike nailed it. The sole Yak-10G
Thanks Walter.
Here's a portly machine with an unusual feature -
Hello boys and girls!
This is definitely a Junkers J15 (or K15) of 1920...
Cheers
Carlo
That's the one, Carlo - over to you -
Hi Mike!
Here are three bold gentlemen standing against a...what?
Cheers

Hi pomme homme
Thank you for the trust in me, but............
I there some parasol wing in her?
It's the washing machine motor that's baffling me....
Parasol ? Maybe - but it could be a bipe*, a tripe or even a gyro ! Or one of those French things that doesn't quite know what it is either.....
(*looks like attachment points aft of the gear leg)
Sorry about not giving you a good game yesterday, Mike. Our 2nd XV just ain't good enough at this level.....
I won't yet tell you why you should know this one, Walter.
Mike, I'm not sure what motor you've got in your washing machine. All I know is that mine isn't powered by a 65hp Continental - although this biplane is! It is the single seat evolution of a tandem two seat biplane which enjoyed a limited production run in the fifties. I apologise for an image of it only in its wingless state. I don't know another of it not only complete but also with this power plant, as opposed to the radial which powered it originally.
I have to say that I'm glad that les Bleus seemingly have avoided la cuiller en bois - although judging by what my wife tells me of the score so far in this afternoon's match, may I should remember the maxim 'never say never' ..... !
Hey girls and boys, how about an Indraero Aero 101?

Close, but no cigar!
Is this the original bipe before converting to a Continental?
That's it, the sole Indraéro Aéro 30, F-PPPA, it its original state when it sported a Salmson radial. That photo emanates from https://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contr...dijk/13392.htm, which is why I thought that Walter would get this one. Over to Germany.
Thanks, Mike!
I would prefer that Uli does the next mystery, without his guess I wouldn't have found that plane.

Considering the only visible bits (fuselage, gear, engine,struts, etc ) have absolutely nothing in common with the original in 1000photos, I think you chaps did exceptionally well !
