The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Do you mean absolutely on both counts as I haven't yet found a French post-1944 reworked Piper Cub that looks like yours and has a Minié (presumably Horus) motor.
 
French, 1949, and a reworked Cub with alterations to wing, tail, gear, as well as power plant.

The later Continental-engined example is in the 1000 Photos site. Go dig !
 
..... then I think that it must be the original Badez-Giraud-Mercier Bagimer (although I cannot find mention of more than two being constructed, these being F-PFAR, which originally was the Bagimer but became the Bagimer II when the 65 hp Continental was installed, and F-PFOK, the handiwork of a member of the Pithiviers Aéro Club).
 
Thank you, Mike. Daft thing is that I went through the same book three times, but missed this one completely on the first two occasions. I put it down to age!

Moving on, you might say that the aeroplane below was designed to spread its wings and fly. You might also be forgiven for expecting it to have snow on its boots!

 
Rgr on the replica!

Something newer.

Started off as a bomber but performance was underwhelming. Didn't work out as a transport either. One built.
 
My first thought was this has to be a Frenchman, but the odd tail didn't fit anywhere.

But I now think this is the Breda A.14 from Italy.

Except for the tail that kite has quite a similarity to the Potez XXII :dizzy:
 
I love that film! "Three shall be the number thou shalt count". :biggrin-new:

Here is a more modern interpretation of a biplane.

Thank you, Robert. I apologise for not being sufficiently specific. The aeroplane in your photo certainly doesn't have a Scott Squirrel up front!

Now, shall we stay in modern times for the next mystery ..... ?
