It should, Mike, because it is a Martlet. 
3 minutes for the solution, I think I must rethink the degree of difficulty

Sorry, Robert, but you got me on my 'specialist subject'! I'll try to post something equally as interesting in the morning.

Here's something that wasn't exactly rare but is pictured in unusual circumstances. Thus precise details are required!

G-ABGE it is, but I've got it as a Type 217 Wildebeest VII and the location as Wimbledon Common. But I did ask for precision rather than pedantry, so it's over to Caledonia.

No taker for the Stearman „Sportster“ Modell 81?
The Model 81 was a conversion of the basic 80 design that was planned for use as a secondary-trainer of military pilots, or as a fast long-range mail plane. As a prototype, the Model 81 was not built to order, but most likely on speculation in hopes of stimulating some orders for this type of airplane from small foreign countries. [Juptner]

Hi giruXX
The McKinnie Model 165 (N9MX). How come aircraft with pleasing lines often do not reach production status?
On the barnstormers.com site (30 November 2014) a McKinnie 165 was offered for sale by a Mr. Peterson of Fargo ND fur USD 1,000(?). I understand that N9MX went to
the Bonanza Aircraft Museum in West Fargo, ND.
Could that be the same aircraft?. I read somewhere that McKinnie may have built a second example for static tests.
Who can shed some light on this?

Gentlemen, found a reference to the McKinnie here - explains the two built......https://www.scribd.com/document/235419927/Vintage-Airplane-Nov-2001
Thank you ver much Mike
Glad you decided not to dispose of that November 2001 issue of Vintage Aircraft. Now that we know that 2 McKinnies were built we only have to find out what happened to the second one (the one not in the Bonanzaville Museum).
Any volunteers for a field trip?
my next challenge wil follow a.s.a.p.

A Yak-18T (T like T-tail) from Absurdistan
Just joking.
Nothing found on russianplanes.net and another site about russian planes, but maybe I did the wrong search.

You're in good company, Robert. I spent more time than I had available to me, this afternoon, searching - in vain - for a crop dusting T tailed Yak 18-T.
This T-tailer is the AERO 15, developed by a the AERO Aviation Engineering Cooperative from Kharkov (Kharkiv).
Now Ukraine, but then still Soviet Union as seen on second picture with CCCP clearly painted on fuselage side. Also note the lading gear, seems this was made fixed.
The cooperative also made an Aero 18 which was a modernised 4-seat Yak-18T
May all have happened around 1989(?)
Now please go back to work and post the next mystery challenge
