I'll nip in before Ferry gets it - a Fokker V.2.
Here's a trickier one.

Kawanishi 11-Shi / E11K1 methinks.
on the Fokker.
Good one on the Kawanishi, Kevin Over to you.
I'm off for my Sunday night group therapy session in the pub.
So I'll award myself one too
In fact I'll have one of these as well
(Have to drown our sorrows now that the Irish have sold us all down the Swanee ....woops, sorry, no politics in this forum.....)
Thanks-
Not sure of the state of political affairs over in the UK but I think that is why pubs were invented!
Let's see where this fancy monoplane goes...
This, Kevin, looks like something my dad built for me using Meccano in the 40's.
With that prop, it can't possibly have flown...... (HAS to be French !)
It did fly as far as I know. This is the 2nd version (with the extra tail bits).
Of course Lefty has quite possibly sniffed out the lineage...
Thread has gone quiet. A sure sign the mystery has remained a mystery. The snazzy job is a Farman F.1010. Experimental monoplane from 1932. It went though a few modifications along the way.
Time for a Moses special....something without a tail!
Went straight for my Russian book when this brute appeared, and, right enough, 'tis a Chyeranovskii BICh-14. Didn't fly much, surprise, surprise !
Must be the world famous (at least in la Douce France) Dassault MD-316T, nephew of the Flamant
At last ! (actually I think someone else got it too, but was modest as ever....)
Over to you, Wout.
Fighter with a difference
Yak-140 ? (Which technically never flew !)
The Yak-140 indeed. I understand the aircraft may have made some "'hops'' during runway testing, but as we know "press freedom" left something to be desired in the 1950s (and not only in the country of origin). If I remember well
it was for a long period thought that Lockheed's XFV-1 Salmon never flew.
Left, please make the next one ready for t/o
Well, this one did take off, complete with its load of the not-so-well !
Better swoop in before Wout here. IAR 817.
Edit: I just ran across an IAR 818. Not sure the difference? Outfitted for air ambulance work? Better go with the 818 here.
Edit2: Another site has an 817S air ambulance!
Well I have it as an 818 -

The play is yours anyway !
Thanks for the link.
Here is one that has never appeared in a mystery thread as far as I can tell-
Hardly surprising - gawd knows where you dug up this heap. It just doesn't look 'right' at all. Look at the section of those wings. And those cowlings. Never mind the bizarre undercarriage arrangements. A real weirdo - must be a homebuild from Albuquerque or somewhere equally obscure...... Don't think it's French but they would have been proud of it !
Good find Moses03!
Not a homebuilt, but a creation from Mexico
My vote goes to the Lascurain 4-seater of around 1939.
Two Continental A65, mixed wood/fabric construction.
hmmm, I wasn't so far out with Albuquerque.........
Well done Wout. This was a real stinker.
Actually I'm not that surprised that Wout knew this one although I had hoped to make you all sweat a little more. I liked Lefty's initial reaction though.
Fire away-
Sorry, was not my intention to spoil the fun, but for reasons unknown to me I have a weak spot for Mexican designs (remember I posted at least two).
Please try this nice big twin
One of those experimental long-range jobs from the Far East I think...
