The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

This water baby is from post-war New York - Ken Bunyard's BAX-3.

I have permission from Moses to proceed, so here's a light aircraft for you -
 
I will need a clue or two as my usual source cannot find it through a Pobjoy, or a parasol link. It's also got a distinctive undercart & a wierd seating arrangement by the looks of things. ? European?

You are spot-on, Kevin, although your photo confuses me !

My mystery was OK-VOV, the Letov S-139, a Pobjoy-engined machine. I have OK-ELM as the Letov 239, with a Walter Minor engine, and have a photo of same (see below) They must have retrospectively re-engined it. (although the bicycle wheels look earlier !)

(for good measure I've also included the S-39, with the Walter Polaris engine)

Anyway, the beer goes to Texas ! :icon29:
 
Thanks Lefty.

I have pix's of the YB-10, YB-12 and B-12A on floats. Can't seems to find enough difference from pixs to figure out which one. Martin was my first thought.

Here's a long, lean machine with some bits attached.....
