That is the Bocono I built by Vicente Zambrano from Venezuela, first flight around 1965 I think.
If correct, Open House please, I'm not at home for the next hours.

hi fabulousfour
Correct on all points! Thew aircraft was donated to the Venezuelan Air Force Museum, but there she was considered as "of no interest" and was destroyed at a later stage.
Mr. Z also started construction of a small heli, but that was not finished.
OH as requested by fabulousfour

Hi giruXX 
Your beauty is the Okamura N-52 two-seater from Japan. Sometimes called the Nihon N-52, as the Nihon University participated in the design.
There is also mention of an N-52A model which, if it ever existed, could be the N-52 re-engined with a C85 (instead of the A65).
Sources say 3 were built as N-52. Could these have been 2 test airframes in addition to the flying JA3024?.
I only saw pictures of JA3024.

If I might accept Walter's invitation and jump in with a photograph that I took last Sunday.

Did this mini-plane get a new cowling recently?

That I don't know, Robert. I hadn't seen it before Sunday and didn't put that question to its pilot!

Mike, I'm holding back this time but I have a hot contender for this biplane.
However, on the pictures I found the nose looks rather different.
Was it built by Gérard C. and the last letter of its registration is a "J"?

Yes on both counts - and to help others, here's a photograph of another (albeit undressed).

I am no more able to answer that question, Walter, than I was Robert's first question.

Having found, online, an earlier photograph of the same aeroplane, I can now see from where Robert and Walter are coming. It does seem to have been significantly remodelled between the time that photograph was taken and last Sunday.
