The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Bristol Bullfinch in biplane mode.

If correct OH please....as have nothing to offer at the moment

Now that Maria has pointed the direction, I think we are looking at a Bartel M.6a/II (according to Putnam anyways, page 369 of Polish craft).
 
Thanks Kevin -we've had a little rain - first for six weeks (in Scotland!) - but the sun is shining again.

Here's a nice utility job -

I have a long name on my card for this Aircraft and I hope it's the right one:
Semar - I.P.N. MX-1 "Tonatiuh"
Built in 1980 in Mexico (8 built)
Cheers

Well the 'meatballs' were a red herring, as I thought. 'W' strutting is the big identification feature, and the camouflage finish made me think it must have been involved in a war.

Nothing in 'Latin American Air Wars', so next we come to Spain, where all was revealed !

It's a FIAT G 8.

I like the detective work, BG...

Here's one that wasn't in the Civil War - a tidy machine with a curious wee motor ?
