The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I think it was going to be used for an ocean crossing. The famous Aviator later went missing in the late 1920's.
 
sounds like the "famous aviator" was Charles Nungesser (was Francois Coli ever famous before his disappearance?) but I cannot find a reference to the 'tool shed'
 
I don't know enough about this one to keep rolling along with it. It is the Nungesser Seaplane or "Duck" as reported on the net elsewhere.

Here is a much easier one. A handsome trimotor-
 
Well I think you are wanting us to say Stinson U here, but my deeply suspicious mind tells me I am walking into a Texan trap.......
 
OK - stll trying to find something on that blasted Nungesser - I think they must have a different Internet in the Mid-West !

Here's one that will be meat and drink to Wout, but maybe not for everyone else......
 
Hi Mike!
To be honest I have no real explanation why the name Orlican is connected with the M-3 (and also with types such as the L-40 Meta-Sokol and L-60 Brigadyr). It may have to do with marketing or maybe it is a result of the various renamings that went on in countries such as the CSSR in the 1950s. I have the same questions about the name Moravan.

Next one is a small flying boat. The gear is just for beaching. Twin engines with tractor props.
 
Hi Kevin! :salute:
No Rotax/JPX, but I understand modified outboard engines delivering some 40hp each
No a manufacturer as such, but the organization created quite some light aircraft (and helis).

Here is a photo from another angle.
