The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Mike (from Scotland), I don't like to solve too often but only every few days, I want to avoid the impression that I have "hijacked" this thread.

However, as you ask so politely I will solve this mysterious biplane.

It is the Pottier P.60 Minacro with the registration F-PRIJ, built by Gérard Camenade and is -I think- No.3 of 6 built planes.

I must confess that I didn't find this mystery too difficult compared to some other unknown planes that remained unsolved.

I did a google search for biplan voltige (=aerobatic biplane) and limited the results to the colour yellow.
Scrolling a long way down I stumbled upon the following photo.

Googling with Pottier and the registration gave some photos of the biplane probably in an earlier configuration and a different look, so that was the reason for my question.
 
Yes, Robert. Correct on, I believe, almost all counts. The only exception is that I believe seven have been built or are in the course of being built, six in France and one (the first) in Austria. But over to you, sir.

Oh, and the second photograph is of the P.60 in the museum at Angers.
 
Thank you Robert,
I thought the Schwarz airscrew should be a good hint. And indeed it was.

Here comes another not too successful contribution to civil aviation: :lemo:

Thanks Uli.

This one is a bit skeletal...

Originating from Western Europe, this sesquiplane was built as a recon plane for the army as far as I can tell.
 
Well this is the first design bearing its designer’s name, the Ponnier F1 in her second form with the open, tandem nacelle.
Open House if correct, as I shall be away over the weekend.
 
I don't think it is dark ale they are drinking over there, Kevin.

The Oktoberfest has started.........

That, Robert, would be G-EBHO, the Vickers Vulture, presumably somewhere during its unsuccessful round-the-world trip. (or it might be the spare, G-EBGO...)
 
Two correct answers within seconds. :encouragement:

It is the Vickers Vulture G-EBHO after her emergency landing on Lake Kournas near Corfu/Greece.

Mike has more details (so half a pint for him :very_drunk:) but Green was slightly faster, so he has the honour to present us a new mystery :icon29:
 
Thanks mate, but I'd like Mike (Lefty) to take the joystick as we were nanoseconds apart - I have no "mystery" aircraft and to be honest, probably never will.

Cheers. :untroubled:
