OK, this was the Coutant RMC Type 17 from 1918.

Let's try something a bit more modern - how about a wee trainer ?
 
You got the Chile baby :very_drunk: Let's have some more exotica from the vaults....

(I expected a Dutch intervention there, too. Maybe he's on vacation....)
 
This unassuming monoplane could be labeled exotic.

A one-off that might have been assembled from a Boulton Paul airframe. Reported to have been the first metal monoplane built from this southern country.
 
Thanks Kevin. (Wonga in this country has other connotations - a 'payday loan' company that charges around 5000% pa interest !)

Here's a wee ag-plane of unusually neat design -

Hi Walter - the Kraken wakes !!

You are of course, correct, well, almost. This is in fact the FL.55 Meteor, with the 150hp Lycoming.

The FL.53 had a tiddly 60hp C.N.A engine, and the intermediate FL54 an 85 or 90hp Continental.

Over to Holland, (who sadly let me down in the World Cup :dejection:)............:very_drunk:
 
Hi Mike !
Thank you for correct Meteor model :encouragement:. Always thought the pic showed a -53. Never too young to learn!
In order to avoid a complete breakdown, decided to be a supporter of our neighbours, al least till and including coming Sunday.

I hope this one was not on earlier. Checked with search.

This one is right up Moses' street - as a baby, all the mobiles over his cot had twin booms and pusher engines............:mixed-smiley-010:
 
Hi Kevin !
As always completely correct :icon29:
Although Austrian by design, test flights were done in Germany, hence the D-KBUS registration.
Please surprise us!
 
A flying barn door? or the Fairchild VZ5.
Good ol wiki - went looking for the Ryan & found this - didn't know it existed.
