The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Haven't a clue about Mike's parasol banana - must be French though ?

(has to be from EU - it's a regulation straight banana.....)
 
Hi Mike :encouragement:. You are correct, the banana is from France.
She is the other one by the same designer. That info should help.
 
Oh, with a nose like that, Mike, I thought that you were going to guess at it being a hitherto unknown version of the Piel CP.10!

Walter evidently knows what it is but is being inscrutable!
 
I wonder why it took Maurice thirteen years to come up with his next creation - which was a much more modern, sophisticated affair, of which two thirds of those constructed are still active.
 
The clues could fit to a design of Maurice Brochet, however, the MB.30 which is the only parasol of the Brochet stable looks very different... :dizzy:
 
He is another Maurice. the other plane is a low winger with swept tail and tri-gear. The first example appeared in 1961.
 
Yes, that's her, Robert. A very different creature to the other Paumier (the less well known Maurice) design - as Walter evidently knew well! Over to Germany for the next one.
 
Thanks, Mike!

Interesting, that there is a description of the Paumier in "Les Avions Francais 1944 -1964" but no photo. :dizzy:

This biplane shouldn't be too difficult. :bee:

With great respect, Robert, I think this is a sesquiplane ! It's the Pander EF85 with yet another of Wout's motors....
 
Thank you Robert - I'll try to work out the cryptic message later !

Here's a jolly little two-seater...

This one in from before the ultralight class was invented. One of the smallest 4-engined aircraft built. It had an official registration!

Now those do look like lawnmower engines - right down to, if my eyes are not playing tricks on me, a pull start on each motor. This will be right up lefty's street!
 
It's the Briggs & Stratton 4 bagger!

Why did Walter scratch out the pilots face? Maybe he is Asian (quick clue?).
 
A Tuholer in one for Walter....:very_drunk:

I don't know about Scotland, but in some parts THIS is a Tuholer (aka Two Holer)...

Later developed as the Two Holer Max
