The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Your cryptic clues are leading me absolutely nowhere, unless it is a banana-smuggling machine from Guatemala.........

Sorry Mike, very close except for Guatemala.
This conventional looking high wing is the 1973 Lebouder Autoplane from France (F-PTES) by Robert Lebouder.
Look at the attached picture showing it has a yellow thing inside, which has one more wheel than the Autoplane itself.
Let us not forget, BG:encouragement: is the chairman of the jury.

Hey I mentioned France. Any bonus points there? :p

Sure does not look like anything roadable in the first photo.
 
These things give me the heebie-jeebies. The thought of the wings, fuselage and tail being held on by a couple of butterfly clips - aaaargh !!
 
Hello boys and girls!
..and of course Wout is hundredpercent correct as well as the comments he made to which I have absolutely nothing to add!
Therefore go ahead Wout with your next mystery and...
cheers!
BG
 
The designer`s name of this one has been on the forum before. The country existed, then disappeared and is now back again.

Please allow me to withdraw this one. Seems I need to spend some time on that deserted island again:bump:

Open House, please
 
Walter, have we had this one here before or did I see it on a similar thread on another site? Wheels like that one does not forget in a hurry!
 
Well gentlemen let me refresh your memory as I was the one who posted the item published (and then withdrawn) by Wout....
The man standing close to the Aircraft is Ing. Anton Kuhelj born in Slovenia and the Aircraft is the trainer Al-Ka "Albatros" of 1940.
Would somebody please come up now with a new mistery as I don't have ready material being away from home for today?
Cheers
BG
 
I have a small "database" for pics for the SOH forum/quizz and other similar sites.
When I found out (by accident, I confess) that BG had already posted the Anton Kuhelj design a while ago, I withdraw the challenge.
The point being, BG is to blame :jump:. I propose to establish an advisory board to form a committee to advice the board of directors to tell the moderators-staff to issue a serious warning to BG and to tell him not to use photos of big-wheeled aircraft again and that a in case of a violation this may result in a temporary ban from the the forum.
That should solve my problem.

In this case I think that also Keith should join the "large- wheel club" (whose membership already counts two members Keith and the humiliated undersigned)!

Many thanks, Keith.

Since wheels seem to be in vogue, who am I to stray from the present theme? So here's a wheel! And you say that you want the wheel to be relative to the size of the aicraft. Well this one, despite a diameter of nearly 2.4 metres, seems to satisfy that criteria. And if you think that this means some big aircraft, you're right.

Now you may say that this thread is about aircraft. If so, I'm sorry that all I can do is offer the wheel. I'm not being inflexible, but that's all that there is of it nowadays!

 
Well, hard to gauge the scale of the photo but one that comes to mind is the Beardmore Inflexible. It had very large tires.

In this photo, the wheels look similar:
