• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

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.

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 ?
 
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 ?

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

Must be a European effort.
