The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Chris.

And now for something completely different.

Didn't think this one would last an hour!

Eight produced in this variant. From a well known European company.
 
Then it should be the Nieuport-Delage NiD 390.

At first glance this bird looked Japanese somehow but I couldn't find anything similar in that region. Now I know why :pop4:
 
Thanks again, Robert.

Here's one that should last about 5 minutes, and I am off to bed now, so if anyone in a different time zone gets it, please continue !

(Don't think it has appeared here before)

That is the Nungesser Hydravion of 1923. I have a couple of photos of it but never seen it actually in the water.:biggrin-new:


Pressing on as Mike suggests since I am across the pond. Another one that should not be too difficult.

Like the Nungesser, this one ended up in the water a few minutes after the photo was taken.

It sank.
 
Thanks Kevin. This next one will probably have several alternative designations -

Is that an unsubtle hint that it's French? If so, could it be one of the myriad post-WW2 reworkings of the Piper Cubs abandoned by the US forces as they pressed through the country in 1944?
 
Absolutely, Mike. It has a Minié engine, and there were three examples built. I bet Walter knows it !
