Hi All!Yes -told you it was easy !
RE Aviafrance - thought it might be a Firefox issue - cleared cache etc - no joy. Tried in Chrome and it works, but painfully slowly.
with me Aviafrance works beautifully on Chrome!

Probably not?
Time to reveal, perhaps. Two
for lefty then (who spent a lot of effort).It is the UT-2 replica built by Rusavia, registered RA-2724G, and first flown on 13th October 2016. See: http://www.rusavia.com/enterprise/restoration/ut-2.html http://www.reaa.ru/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1211402254/134 It is named Yakovlev UT-2B because of differences to the original, like a more powerful Shvetsov M-11FR engine.
Some journals just reported about it (Le Fana de l’Aviation Jan. 2017, Klassiker der Luftfahrt 02/2017, etc.?) Others will follow for sure.

SOH-CM-2023
No other takers, gX - this is the Boisavia B.603 Mercurey.
Piper clones can be a real pain, because they tend to look identical, but this one has one small identifying feature - most of the others have the lower end of the Vee struts fixed at the rear of the undercarriage struts - this one's at the front !

Good observation Mike 
It is the tug plane used for the SA 104 Escopette already shown in your picture on page http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...ad-Part-Deux?p=1061529&viewfull=1#post1061529

A brew for gX on the L-4.
The story goes, Mr. Lawson got a little impatient and decided to have the crew take off from a short improvised dirt runway near the hanger where it was built instead of trucking it to a larger nearby airstrip. The pilot got it airborne to his credit but caught some trees on climb out. The brand new fancy loo went POOF!

Well this reminds me of a Kinner XRK1 (or C7) except for the tail which doesn't match.....
