The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

That, I believe, is the ill fated Wren Goldcrest (G-AICX) - scrapped in 1947 because of the intransigence of the post-war British administration in allowing small manufacturers access to approved aircraft building materials.
 
Hi pomme homme:encouragement:
This elegant single-seater is the EB-3 (or is it ED-3?) by Émile Bogaert from Belgium. However, registered as F-WCDM.
Would you know when she was completed (1946 or 1950)? All I know she had a 20hp Aubier-Dunne engine.
 
I have it as the Bogaert EB.3 (presumably for the constructor's initials) dating from 1950. And that's all that I have on this little aeroplane. Anyhow, well done and over to you, Walter.
 
An all-metal biplane from before we invented the official ultralight category. She owes her name to the rotary engine installed.

Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
The Wankel X by Stanley Corcoran and Stanley Tonkin. Tested with several small rotary engines including a Sachs and a Kawasaki.
Your turn, please
 
Interesting. Couldn't find any evidence about the designation "Wankel X" but only the names of the designers.

Here is another biplane.

Only a small number of these aircraft were built, two of which crashed shortly after introduction.
The remaining aircraft were converted to floaters and survived until 1939 but were destroyed in an early stage of WW2.
 
Bimoteur anyone?
