A nice picture of the one and only CANT 23 from :italy:
I can't deny your assessment. :icon29:
Thanks, Kevin! That plane was completely unknown to me until yesterday!
On with a light plane.
B.F.W. M-23b with Siemens motor ?
It is, Mike! :encouragement:
Here is the full picture, I had to hide the Klemm in the background, she would have been too treacherous :very_drunk:
It was the rear fuselage shape - I have a nice pic of the floatplane version...
Here is a very nicely turned out two-seater, surprisingly of a similar vintage to the above..
From the Mid-West. Lambert engine. Isinglass curtains.....
That is a pleasing ship Mike. Probably have it in a Juptner somewhere. Extra busy with work this week so not much time for mysteries.
Maybe a Star Cavalier E, Mike?
There seem to be different versions with and without an extra strut to the pants.
Couldn't find any evidence about isinglass.
You cracked it, Robert. It is the Cavalier E. (Lots of pictures of the variations in Juptner 4/77, Kevin). The 'isinglass curtains' refers to a favourite ditty, 'Surrey with the Fringe on Top' from Oklahoma, just like this machine !
One thing all variants have in common is that uniquely tall tail unit, which reminds me of the 'ten-gallon' hat worn by Bob Hope in another movie..
Over to Germany :icon29:
Thanks, Mike. It's a bit difficult to understand those "insider clues" for non-native speakers like me. :very_drunk:
On with a racer.
Apologies,Robert, it was a bit of self-indulgence :rocket:
No idea about your new one , but those solar panels are unusual....:mixed-smiley-010:
Is that the 1933 Kellner-Béchereau 28VD?
Indeed, Mike, it is the Kellner-Bechereau. :encouragement:
A racer that never flew a race.
Over to France with a beer or a Cidre, just as you like :icon29:
Thank you, Robert. I'll take the beer but keep it until I've finished muck spreading - which is what I should be doing now! But before I go, here's something that should not occupy too much of anyone's Friday afternoon.

Based on a well known glider that had evolved from a better known glider!
It isn't a Herald and it wasn't made by Sopwith! :biggrin-new:
The empennage was making me think of the DFS Habicht ( and "Stummel-Habicht") but that got me nowhere
Wrong country, srgalahad. Consider the last clue!
G-AELR: first known as the Dunstable Dart but later as the Dart Pup
