The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sorry, the pilot may look a bit Asian, but the aircraft isn't. That should help you as this limits the possible countries of origin.
Another small hint: The aircraft was registered in April 1929 and destroyed in July 1932 :dizzy:. Personally I don't think this information is very useful, but you never know.

Cheers,
Huub
 
I will go to bed soon. When there is still no answer tomorrow morning (my time) I will provide name of the engine manufacturer.

Hopefully you won't have sleepless nights,
Huub
 
Well done! It is indeed a Focke-Wulf S24 (registration D-1607)

The S24 was an acrobatic plane powerd by a humble Siemens & Halske Sh 13 engine with less than 80 hp. It had foldable wings and was designed to be towed by a car. The weight was only 365 kg (800 pounds) and only 32 were buit.

There at least one still flying, however with a different engine.

The stage is yours!

Huub
 
Thanks Huub.

Let's try this one.

Got it!!! the OO under the wing gave it away!

Its OO-AFS a Mulot AM.20 Sport.

Found it by a fluke looking at the Belgian registry!

Yes gentlemen it is indeed the Mulot and I left purposely the OO id's to facilitate recognition.....about Lefty having it already published in 2009 I was totally unaware....
Anyway Dev-one's :icon29: turn I believe!

Hi Baragouin :encouragement:

I think this is the first T-1 Toucan by Alfredo Turbay from Argentina. First flown in May 1943. Reportedly "mass"
production of the aerobatic single-seater by the Sfreddo & Paolini company was ordered, but for a lot of reasons (ban on importing Cont.A65 engines and political difficulties) prevented this. The aircraft was first registered as LX-X1 and later LV-NBE and was lost in an accident in 1957. A second, homebuilt, aircraft T-1B (LV-X578) was completed in 1975.
 
Hi Wout!
A most perfect and accurate report on Turbay's "Tucano"T.1....
Now please surprise us with a one-off civilian Aircraft of the thirties (Am I asking too much?)
Cheers
