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.

Waldo Waterman Flex-Wing or Variable-Wing Monoplane or CLM Special (the same aeroplane seems to have used all three designations)?

Thank you, Chris. It's a rare occurrence when I identify one from your side of the pond!
I don't think that the aeroplane below has been used here before. But fingers crossed .....

Not an avion formule Mignet, Kevin, but you're in the right area. Vis à vis success, this one might be accused of bad timing.

..... but an autoplan. This one definitely wouldn't appeal to topiarists!

Welcome back, Walter. Your absence has caused some concern!
It isn't the LT-51 Microplan - nor any other member of the convoluted family of aeroplanes with which Léon Lacroix and Dr. Barret de Nazaris were involved - although datewise the autoplan illustrated is almost exactly contemporaneous with the pre-war emanation of the LT-51.

And also welcome back, Uli. Robert was getting a tad worried about you too!
Yes, it is M. Louchet's 'Le Pyrale', which was presented to the world on the eve of WWII - and, in consequence, was not heard of thereafter. And for those whose lepidopterological French might not be up to scratch, le pyrale du buis is the box tree moth whose caterpillars can decimate your box hedges - if box blight hasn't already done so!
Over to Germany. Take it away, Uli!

It is indeed the single Romano R-5. 
Quite an attractive design compared to other French aircraft of that era.
