The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you, Kevin. We haven't had a helicopter for a while, so perhaps try this. It won't be any surprise that it's a homebuilt. It may be more of a surprise is that, according to what should be a reliable source, it flew!

 
You have the country, Chris. It is said that, under its own power (a Honda Civic auto engine), it rose to the height of seven feet - and there's no mention of the pilot employing a seven foot high cliff face to assist him to do so!

Nope, not on your life would I try that, nor not in my life which, if I did try it, would likely end quickly :dizzy:
 
I don't think that there's any point in persisting with this one. The helicopter dosn't have a designation but it was designed and built by Mubarak Abdullahi in Kano, Nigeria, in 2007. Open house!
 
Another British non-starter (a bit like our Winter Olympians). The Britten-Norman Nymph, described as an 'expensive copy of a US plane' built for a market that just wasn't there.
 
Spot on Lefty, & with a bit of modification she became the NAC Freelance, which didn't catch on either.
Over to you:very_drunk:

Thank you Keith - here's one that didn't go much further either -

Mike, are you participant in the aviaquiz? I know that photo only from there and recognized it immediately.

On with a monoplane.

Up next, a grainy biplane.
