    PS maybe a Rearwin?

    You're nearly there, BG. Which Rearwin ?

  5. #10255
    Is it a Rearwin Speedster?

    Or maybe an inline-fitted Sportster? Kinda tough!

    It's the Speedster, with 95hp American Cirrus.

    I think a beer each is in order here I'll leave it to BG - if he doesn't have a mystery lined up, Marc, he may want you to carry on !

    BG, I think if Marc hasn't posted by this afternoon you should proceed with another Tuscan Teaser........

    You're right Lefty...I don't think Marc wants to bother...therefore here's my next european Touring mystery:

    Seen this photo before. Now if I can jog my memory...

  12. #10262
    Well I've slogged through about a hundred parasols and still can't find this slab-sided brute......

    No Latvia (therefore no Irbitis) my mystery comes from an neighbouring much larger country and also has same engine( as Irbitis)....

    Here's a nice little monoplane for fresh-air fiends -

  19. #10269
    Tis the Scheller S.IV. Interesting that Herbert Scheller was on the design staff at Junkers from 1925 to the end of the war.

  20. #10270
    Swiftly dealt with, young sir. Scheller indeed - I have it as the S.IV.32b - what the 32b signifies will doubtless remain a mystery in itself !

  21. #10271
    Attached is another look at the Scheller. Maybe the 32b is the fancy pants?


    Onward with a braced low wing monoplane.

    The closest I've found is a Callair product but still it is quite different from the mystery.....
    BG

    Now that I come to thing about it....maybe a Rawdon?

    Weird thing in Aerofiles -every time I click on a link on that site, come up with a blank page 'sbdtds.com'. Is there a bug ?? Anyone else getting this ?

    Yes it happens to me, but if you close down that tab aerofiles is behind there OK - looks like sbdtds is hitching a ride.
    Doesn't help me at the moment though as no idea where to look.

    Just assuming that this machine was American - but maybe not......not getting anywhere. Maybe clue time ??
