The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Nozawa X-1. A Jap with a Brit pobjoy engine. This was first flown in December of 1941, not too long after the Pearl Harbor attack.
 
Thanks Uli.

Morning chaps ! Holiday over, sadly.

Kevin's mystery is the Mooney A-1, I think. (No pic in Aerofiles - thought it was a variant of the Alexander Bullet then found the Mooney.... Must have been cosy - and noisy - in there !)
 
Incidentally, it is so nice to be able to see pictures here again ! I see that the Texan grain merchant sneaked in a floater - here is a much nicer photo of the LeO H-6/2...

Welcome back Mike, hope you had a nice holiday. Some suds for the diesel powered A-1.:guinness:

On the LeO, the pic I had does not show the outboard floats.

Thanks Kevin - lovely holiday, thank you, and Madeira avoided all of the weather nasties.

Re the LeO, your quote is from the Hartmann book, which has photos with and without floats. I wonder how an amphibian without wing floats works - what's to stop the wings 'digging in' to the water ??

We'll go, not with a floater, but a slider.......may have posted this one before but can't find it.....

Aeronautical Manufacturing Enterprise Safir-43E Agricole: An Algerian license-built copy of the Zlín Z 43.
 
I suspect Aviafrance is to blame here - as far as I can make out, there was no Latham L.2 !
There were two L.1's - F-ATAM and F-ESEJ, referred to as #1 and #2. The engine strutting arrangements were slightly different.
The '11' on nose and rudder was the contest number.
#1 was irreparably damaged by 'helpful' British amateurs whilst beaching, and #2 suffered magneto failure.
