I thought I had a good one that I recently found. Then checked it had been used before. Checked this didn't turn up. Sorry about the quality.

Chris, that is the Hodkinson HT-1.

That's it didn't take long.

Hard to slip a trimotor through.

Here is one in the woods.

This company is best known for a nifty post-war twin boom pusher...

[FONT=&quot]It's the Trella T-101 Speedster, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]X6775[/FONT]

 

[Moses03]

Speedster it is.

Back to colors:

Obviously from Eastern Europe, but not from Asia. Built since 2002.

OK-???
Where are the experts for "After-Woodstock Mystery Aircraft"?

We must presume Walter is otherwise engaged, Uli.....

I did actually have a go at this one, and dug out my only post-millennium Jane's (2002-3). It contains a couple of dozen very similar white plastic creations, but nothing which fits exactly.....

Curious to know how you expected us to recognise it as East European - the neo-Brutalist hangar architecture in the background, perhaps ?

 

[giruXX]

I must admit that these “modern Piper Cubs” all look alike. Does this mean that history repeats?
My picture shows OK-NUU 03 an Aerosette MH-46 Eclipse, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosette_MH-46_Eclipse

Open House then

Thanks, Uli -maybe someone can tell us the definition of an ultralight, as this looks like a normal aeroplane to me!

Here's something definitely not white, and grainy almost to Mose standards.

Hint - I bought a book of old photographs on my holiday - this is described as 'a seaplane found floating in the Atlantic and towed in by a fishing boat.'

I've managed to deduce what it was - anyone else ?

 

[giruXX]

I guess the picture is taken in the bay of Funchal.

Have some ...... m'dear!

Whether an aeroplane is an ultralight depends, mainly, on its seating capacity and all up weight - and this differs from country to country. You'll find some guidance at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_aviation.

Thanks Mike - I had always pictured microlights as nylon-and-piano-wire machines, but it's obviously subtler than that.

You're both, of course, correct about Madeira - the next bit of detective work might take a wee while longer.....I at first thought Junkers but you can dismiss that one !

 

[Moses03]

Good morning campers, at first glance thought this might be a Martin MO-1 but the floats are off.

Must be a European effort.

 

[lefty]

Correct. I thought you might be the first taker for this one.....
