I never thought that egg planes were real – until I found this.

Yes, of course that's the "egg"

 

[cthornburg]

Should be an easy one. It's from Yugoslavia I had the ID but lost it over the years so I've been trying to find it again but can't.

Hi Chris
This 2-seater is the Ikarus 252 (also known as the 1.Maj or Prvi Maj)
Some details for your records.
2-seat sport/trainer
one 60hp Walter Mikron II piston engine
max. speed 98 mph, ceiling 13.125ft, range 295 miles
wingspan 33.465ft; length 24.770ft
DETAILS: The Ikarus Model 252 (1. Maj or Prvi Maj) was an original all wood design light plane designed and built by Tvornica Aero i Hydroplana IKARUS. It was intended as light touring and training aircraft for aero club use and developed to meet a Government requirement. However, the competing Cijan C-3 Trojka (qv) was selected for production and development was soon halted. Only a single prototype was completed with one 60hp Walter Mikron II engine and this was flown during the 1950s. The aircraft was also referred to as the 1.Maj or Prvi Maj.
Production: 1

A twin engined motor glider. Engine/props retracted in fuselage fairing when not in use.

looks pretty German

 

[lefty]

You obviously know this one, Uli - I was thinking the car looked British !

 

[fabulousfour]

Probably an old Wartburg 311 (the car, not the plane)

Sorry, but not German. European though. First flown around 1986/1987.
Donot know about the car. My guess it is a homegrown product.

That's the Fedorov Baikal...my fingers are still aching having to go through the J2mc list

Hi Carlo
The Baikal from USSRS it is. Design of Vladimir Egorovich Fedorov. Reportedly the engines caused problems and the test programme was cut short.
Mr. Fedorov later founded the Aviatroitel company which produced the AC- series of high performance gliders and motor gliders.
Looking forward to your next challenge Carlo !

Hi Walter!
It's quite some time that we don't have a push-pull....look above
Cheers
Carlo

 

[Green]

Looks like the DG-1?

 

[Baragouin]

Yes Mr.Green that's what she is....now we expect a breathtaking puzzle!
Cheers
Carlo

 

[Green]

Cheers Carlo.

Nothing breathtaking...

 

[Moses03]

Hi Green, I think that is the Handley Page H.P.47 although the fin flash from that angle looks like French markings.

 

[Green]

Spot on mate.
But no French involved....
