The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sensing a lack of enthusiasm and interest I think it's time to move on. Our canvas, plywood and wire contraption was the Albatros RE.III

This fellow looks like a Duverne-Saran of 1935 although your pic (though photoshopped) is much better than the one I have (where is the tripod holding up the tail?)....BTW it was equipped with two Chaise 4E (only 40HP each) and only one item was produced....
Cheers

:icon29: for the Duverne-Saran. Over to you sir!
Sidenote: Perhaps I was too quick to judge with the Albatros - hard to get a feel sometimes. Those early Taube's all look identical - I usually let them pass as I personally have little or no hope of identifying them.
 
Good morning to all of you!
Please ID the following....
Cheers

A verygood day for you too Wout!:salute:
Yes it is an Ikarus Aero 2 (YU). The interesting fact about this pic is that it is tagged as being the very early prototipe (Aero 2B I believe) fitted with a Gipsy Major engine year being 1940. Pic shot at Panshevo airport.
Now your turn please....

Thank you Baragouin

Next challenge is a neat 2/3-seat light helicopter by a designer/company still in business.
 
It seems highly unfair to post this challenge. But no clues at this stage.
Please use your imagination (think of it in a nudist colony), use your memory and also vision a honey-sucking little bird (and Messi if you like football).
 
Hi dan_pub :salute:It is the CH-3 (aka ck-1) but with a fully covered fuselage. Attached photo shows it with registration and also a b/w picture uncovered showing more tail details etc.
The CH-03 was on the forum (in bare form) a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry I caused confusion. With the nudist colony I meant uncovered and memory because it was on not so long ago, the little bird is the Colibrie as dan-pub mentioned and Messi is a soccer player from Argentina.
 
Since danpub declares OH may I step in?
I don't usually post aircrafts reminiscent of a replica but I liked this one so much that I take the liberty of proposing it to you....
Good luck
BG

A bit of help:
1) the coat-of-arms is the one of the Duchy of Normandie (therefore french)
2) more than 60 have been built
