The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Lefty has it icon29. It is the Mk.1 Auster Avis G-AJXW with a Gipsy Major. The other clue, if you scrutinise the photograph carefully, is that it has four doors to accomodate the four people that it was designed to carry. I think that it was the only four door Auster. Over to Scotland.

Thank you Mike.
Here is another high-winger - a rather attractive design, and a debutante here, I think -

That is a nice picture of the Legrand-Simon LS.50, Mike.

A Happy New Year to you all, we have already 2021 on this side of the pond

Thank you for the wishes and the beverage! For what may be the last challenge of a challenging year...

Is it a bird, is it a plane (it DID fly)?

A rather grainy, primitive-appearing photo, but not as old as you may think. Power was a 60HP Salmson.

Dating to the late 1800's, the company (or descendants) exists to this day. Related products were made famous by a very well-known marine explorer.

The gondola is interesting. It looks like a partially formed aircraft.

I see the New Year's fog has dissipated Very good and very complete! (something suitable for a winter's day)

Essentially yes. Even a rudimentary wing ahead of the cockpit, conventional stick/rudder and even a starter for the motor.
