That, sir, is the Henschel Hs122 V--1, with Rolls-Royce Kestrel motor.
Nicely done!
Thank you. Here's a twin for a change.....
Yes, too easy - over to you, Green.....
Here is one from Walter's category
The country of origin should be clearly visible...
It is the Delta Kitten, Carlo
According to aerofiles the engine was a Continental C-85 with 85 hp.
Thanks Robert!
Sticking to Flying wings theme may I submit following item which for sure isn't going to win a beauty contest?
Cheers

Hi Carlo
Very wild guess. The Eichman Aerobat Model A (USA), but the engine seems on the heavy side.
Thanks Carlo.
Here is another interesting one.
Ahh - a real Moze special, this is the Schmidt of 1911 from New Jersey. I can't believe it actually flew with those weird props, but it supposedly did !
Well spotted Mike.
It was ahead of it's time no doubt. Still trying to figure out what material he used to enclose the nose section.
Over to the lowlands-
Had to be some form of celluloid, which was used for early film stock - and which was also highly flammable!
Here's something (wake up Walter..) a bit later.....
Re: The Schmidt. Carlo, the engine is just ahead of the pilot and connected to the props via chain drive. Not sure the type as I have tried to research this machine without any luck so far.
Hi Mike
Hopefully in time. The Meadowcroft MC-1 Chinook. by William Meadowcroft. Registration N2879D. Flown 1968
Later dismantled to use of parts in his Moonshiner, retaining the same registration.
That's the one, Walter, although according to Jane's (61-62) it first flew in 1960. No location given there, either, although a Bill Meadowcroft seems to have been a well-known figure around Jackson, MI.

Maybe Kevin has something on him ? And what about this Moonshiner, Walter ? Can't find anything about that one.
Over to you, sir.
Mike, thanks for the link with info on Bull Meadowcroft. Seems he was a.o. a nightfighter pilot with Starfire (F-94C) and Scorpion (F-89) time under his belt.
Please see here a bad photo of the Moonshiner. You can tell the familiy resemblence.
My next challenge will folow a.s.a.p.
