Gave up on AviaFrance mate - loading pages too slowly.
I'll try for a Cauldron?

No guesses? To help you a long a recent (2000's) design. Not a homebuild.

Edit, challenge withdrawn.

Open House.

Evening Ken.

No guesses?
Plenty of guesses mate, but none will be close. My problem I think is my brain hasn't moved on much from the mid-80s regards light aircraft. I see your image and still think in terms of Beech or Piper. In fact my first thought was the Aerotec 122, which it isn't.

Sorry mate, need a lot more clues.

I thought Beech 23 but I know that was wrong.

Happy to have it back if you want mate.

Well, in the meantime, just for a laugh...my youngest son recently went to see Battleship...
Battleship (2012) - IMDb

Since then, much to my disgust (), he now builds warship models. The latest Revell kit he built has this illustration in the instructions..



What do you think the seaplanes are?
And what's the warship?

USS New Jersey with Vought OS2U Kingfisher perhaps, if not the New Jersey then the USS Missouri.

I believe that's what it's meant to be Mel. But I guess with scaling around 1:540, aircraft get distorted.

A'rtnoon LM,

Apologies for absence, just back from a business trip!

That looks like the Focke-Wulf F 19 Ente, the prototype that took the Wulf out of FW !!

Thanks David,

This one should be fairly straightforward

Things often should be straightforward!

Is it Polish?

Appears on first inspection to be a two-seater, but I have my doubts.
