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.

I would've got that one wrong anyway. I would've guessed a Yokosuka B4Y "Jean".
Thanks for that though.

yes for sure 
"The cleverly named Midjet (combining "midget" and "jet") was basically a B-6 with ramjet engines mounted on the rotor tips. This tiny helicopter was said to be capable of lifting several times its own weight." [https://www.vortechonline.com/bensen/]

The motor glider is the SSV-17 from Yugoslavia. It was developed by VTC (Vazduhoplovno Tecknichi Centari Vrsac) and a design of Mr. Ivan Sostaric who received help from
Alfred Vogt and Theodor Sigmund and his Sigmund Flugtechnik from Germany.
First flight June 1972 and engine was a 60hp Franklin 2A-120A. Registration YU-M6009.
Open House Please

Now here's an abomination that hasn't, I believe, hitherto graced this place!

Exactly. A monstrosity employing the wings and tail feathers of a Grumman AA-1 combined with a new fuselage and VW engines. The result was supposed to be a 2/3 scale Westland Whirlwind replica. To employ some current British television advertising copy .... 'should have gone to specsavers'!
Over to you, Walter.

The twin-boom pusher should be the Cinquanta D B Hawker II.
Hi fabulousfour
The DB Hawker II (registration N2262) was built by Joe Cinquanta and the pusher engine is a 45hp Sachs 440 two-stroke unit.
In initial form the aircraft had two small jets in pods under the wings, but during ground/engine tests high temps of the exhausts gases caused the tail boom covering to "melt down".
After repair the Sachs was installed.
There is a nice article in EAA`s Sport Aviartion Magazine January 1975
Your turn, sir!
