Thanks Chris.

Here is an interesting one.

 

[Moses03]

This one came along in 1949. Was later heavily modified (that version has appeared in here previously).

Powered by two Continental engines.

 

[Moses03]

From the USA.

This is the AirUtility AU18. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Open board.

Hmmm, my suspicions about the future of this thread are starting to be confirmed .....

Yesterday's mystery is not very old, being a one-off, homebuilt single seater powered by a VW 1200 engine developing 30 hp. It has one feature that puts it closer to aeroplanes built some sixty years earlier than it.

That makes me bite:
Dupau MD.12, F-PZWJ

 

[pomme homme]

Indeed it is, Uli (although its registration mark was F-PZMJ). Otherwise known as the 'Papy-ion'. Was this due to its folding wings? Over to Germany.

Curtiss Crane or Model 20.

Nice to see new blood as old blood seems to be in hiding. One thing even though I recognized the aircraft since it's not your usual crop-duster. You left the name of the aircraft on the picture.
