The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

BG`s message and mine must have passed each other on the electronic highway (12.33 and 12.39 hrs.)
BG is correct on the (nick)name and era :applause:, but not on the country.
On who copied who I choose to remain politically correct (meaning I have no opinion)

in relation to wout's mystery let's recap all the data we have sofar:
1 - small touring aircraft with a two cylinders engine
2 - country of origin: Somewhere in eastern europe (czechoslovakia?)
3 - era: Before wwii (i would say sometime in the thirties)
4 - nicknamed after an obnoxious fly (the only one that comes to my mind is "tze tze")
oh yes probably re-engined in poland with registration sp-dll

is there someone who could translate all the above in a full identity?

ps please note change concerning country of origin
 
With all the clues I stumbled upon the Kuhelj Tse Tse of 1938. :dizzy: Slovenia that is? Or part of Yugoslavia...dunno really.
 
The aircraft is the Tse-Tse by designer Anton Kuhelj from Yugoslavia (now Slovenia) and built/flown 1938ish.
Mr. Kuhelj designed a couple of other light planes.
If interested please Google "kuhelj tse-tse" and you hit several sites (in Serbian) which provide also some technical details.

I propose OH please
 
Looks like wout popped in and replied before he saw my answer. No worries, will press on with this chilled biplane.

Very good Mike. :very_drunk: It is documented as an "A" model but the official Granville designation is the E-1. Nothing on Aerofiles on it.

Over to you.
 
An aside on the Tse-Tse....amazing how similar it looks to the Miles Hobby, except for the cranked wing & its also about the same age!

The Gee Bee A is on Aerofiles, Kevin, and the side-by-side seating and unusual fin/rudder are what gave it away, but the cowling on yours is a lot shorter........

Here's another slightly later light aircraft - a very skinny one - let's see who can get it before I have to post the side view !!
 
It's the Speedster, with 95hp American Cirrus.

I think a beer each is in order here :icon29::icon29: I'll leave it to BG - if he doesn't have a mystery lined up, Marc, he may want you to carry on !

BG, I think if Marc hasn't posted by this afternoon you should proceed with another Tuscan Teaser........:mixed-smiley-010:
