The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well, my granny used to like Russ Conway, Mike.....

Actually this unlovely machine is the 1925 B.A.E.G. A20 Monoplane, produced by Leopold Bauer and Max Eger in Brunn. :austria: 596cc 18 hp Douglas engine..
 
While waiting for Pomme homme, I need some help from you fellows, and am sure some of you will have the answer ! Whilst researching, I came across, in the 1947 Jane's, a description of a Sud-Ouest machine, the G.L.3 Libellule, a sporting twin-boom pusher with Praga engine. There is a full description with dimensions etc., but no illustration.

Can't find out any more, expect for another reference to a Lasserre G.L.3 Libellule, presumably the same aircraft. Can anyone enlighten me, please, as to whether it was ever built and flown ?

Well, I suppose someone had to! Did she like Winifred Atwell as well?

Indeed it is. It was produced as a Volksflugzeug but, presumably, der Volk didn't agree as there was only one and der Osterreicher, as a people, weren't prepared to queue for long enough to get their turn to fly it!

Over to you, Mike.

Does this help - http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,13777.msg135058.html#msg135058
 
Thanks Mike - my grubbing around didn't reveal that thread !

Am a bit pushed today - here's a very easy one to keep things rolling -

It is quite some time that we had a Cub-look-a-like. Hope we did not have it earlier.
