Hmm, I thought this one might slow you all down a bit ! European, and there was a radial-engine version also produced. This one has a Gipsy II.
 
Bit of a silence all round, so we'll move on. This one is the Guldentops Touring Monoplane from :belgium: (OO-CUI)

Here's an easier floater...

Hello Lefty!
I don't think I know your floater....however going back to the Guldentops Touring monoplane do you think there might be a connection with the following Guldentops St.Michel SG2 OO-GUE?
By the way on the belgian register I couldn't find r/n OO-CUI:

Sorry for blundering into your post but this just came up to my mind....

Well well -we'd better move on. The floater is the Viking from the Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstderna, :sweden: as I'm sure you all knew.....:untroubled:

The dilemma - to go for the jugular and the hat-trick ? Well I'm not that sort of a chap, so we'll keep the horrors (got lots of new ones...) for later.

Here's a nice easy one, a neat two-seater for fresh-air fiends -
 
For some reason, I expect this one to last a while. Tip?

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
It surely us!. I first read about it years ago, but only very recently stumpled upon 2 pictures and some background info.
Sorry, it is not Italian (but it is European)
 
The company that built the nice looking aircraft is still active and still bears the same name. However, the country changed its name.
 
Hi Baragouin :encouragement:
Sorry, no relationship with Rublic. I may have confused you. The company still exists, but is no longer active in
aircraft, AFAIK.
The company was in the past creator of (amongst others) jet trainers, attack aircraft and a light piston engine attack aircraft. These were mainly for domestic use, but also enjoyed some export succes.
The nice looking aircraft in the pic is the first plane built under the name of ....
 
I've had a feeling that it is one of the many postwar Ikarus designs, but can't track it down. How about 252 ??

Oh Oh - just found a post on another forum (from somebody called Walter ??) with a photo of the 252, so it ain't that ! Back to the drawing board............

Hi gentlemen :encouragement:
We have landed in the correct country, Yugoslavia. The aircraft is the SOKO-1 (or Soko S-1) and was an aerobatic single-seater.
For those interested here is a link and then use Google Translate. Btw, the site has also info on many other (CIVIL) Yugoslav designs such as the Vajic V55, AAK Student, KB-6 and KB-11, UTVA`s etc.

Thanks, Walter. 'Tis a brave man who ventures into the Balkans..........

Here's one that is not from Transylvania - it is so quirky that those of you who specialize in oddballs won't even have to look up the name, but it's a nice photo.....
