The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

But I'll take pity and offer you something much easier. A large Calvados for the earlier one, though !

Calvados - a brandy made from apples. I'm all over that. :)

Yessir - delicious - I believe they make something similar in Canada, and I've even had an Aussie apple brandy.

You are, of course, correct with the Nieuport. A :icon29: of the stuff that passes for beer brewed in your neighbour state, sir.
 
I'll take a frosty St.Pauli Girl, thanks! (Can't stand American brewed swill, except for Samuel Adams). Since you posted 2, and I only got one of them, not sure what the protocol is to proceed here. We'll just call open board then. Can anyone ID the floater?
 
I gave the first floater a cursory look last night. Probably some obscure French number that isn't listed at Aviafrance.
 
To be honest I'm not sure. This one is a bit on the "for fun" side as I don't know much about it.

It hails from a country that has not been represented in here before...
 
I have yet another picture of this oddity, but don't have a manufacturer or model number....simply labeled as the RingWing.......
 
DHC2Pilot is correct. I also have it listed as aircraft by Mr. Arkady Narushevich. I understand the aircraft had a 260hp Ivhcneko AI-14 radial and was built/flown in he period 1995-2000. Designer reported as a Mr Alexander Anokhim (retired Belarus AF colonel) and as builders Messrs. Narushevich and Anatoly Gushkin and also saw the name of the SKB Kamerton organisation. The aircraft is possibly now in storage (or in as museum?) in Borovaya, Belarus.
Registration or model designation was/is EW-067 LL
 
Volunteers to have a go on this one?
Designer is very famous albeit for more conventional types. The initials of his first names are in the model designation. Time period: early-1960s
 
Sorry DHC2Pilot. Did not want to be misleading.
What I meant to say was that IF this aircraft had been designed by William T.Piper (it was not, of course) the designation COULD have been WT-1000 (WT for William T.).
To help: there is a Piper connection (designer, not the aircraft) and the model has 11 in its designation
I cannot make it easier, sorry.
 
This the Rover Canard?

Thought maybe Aerofiles came to the rescue with this entry. Not quite the same as your pic, but very similar.

1961 = 2pCmwM; pusher. Fiberglass canard delta design spotted by a young Mike O'Leary at Hemet-Ryan (CA) airport in the late '60s. Said to be a design of C G Taylor of Taylorcraft fame (nothing supportive was found in our Taylor reference file) and built at Ventura CA. Painted dark blue with white trim. Also reportedly flew briefly a few times, but not very well, and appears to have been abandoned. O'Leary mentioned reg of [N9959C], but his photo shows otherwise.
