• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Uli, depending on if the picture was taken in wartime or after the war this is either the AEG N 1 or the AEG K, the latter being the civil version of the former. :wavey:
 
Hi fabulousfour:encouragement:
Judging the color scheme I guess this is a Neiva 420 Lanceiro, the civil counterpart of the U/L-42 Regente.
 
Sorry for the delay. Had to take care of some family biz.
A small flying wing. I think 2 were ever built.

I don't know the identity of the flying wing in the foreground but the Auster Aiglet Trainer in the background appears to be F-BGKZ/G-BGKZ which, in the latter guise, belonged to Rupert Hibberd, a vet with whom I flew in the seventies, who used to keep his aeroplane in a field on top of Creech Hill in Somerset.
 
From a very active designer. I estimate close to 20 (homebuilt) designs ranging from low wing to mid-wing to high wing to biplane.
 
I was not aware of this. Learning about my PC every day.
So now that all know the flying wing is a Pottier P-40, I take the liberty to post a new one :beaten:

Two-seater, all-metal fuselage, fabric wings/tail feathers. First flown 1970. May be she is in a museum now.
 
This is the BD-1 Durl-E-Aire (N8866) by William Durley. She was converted from a 1946 Aeronca Chief. Engine Continental A65-8.
Registration was cancelled 15 February 2018.

Open House, please
 
Had a good old search for that one, Walter, with no joy!

Here's a nice amphibian -
