Time for a clue, methinks.
This is a 'windy' aircraft.

I think it is the Aviasud AE-206 Mistral, mistral obviously reffering to windy. Made in France, so yes, you could blame the French ;-)
Flight on 4 May 1987: it was flown to the North Pole.

If I am correct, its open house

Well done Grueber, it is indeed the AviaSud Mistral, a two-person ultralight bi-plane with forward swept wings. The open, side by side, cockpit is forward of the wings. Designed by two Belgians, Francois Goethals and Bernard d’Otreppe, the Mistral is built (over 200 so far) in Fréjus, France, although until 2004 it was also made under licence in Brazil. The prototype first flew in 1985 and the first production model was delivered in April 1986. The Mistral is powered by a Rotax 582 UL-DCDI unit, although I believe that the Rotax 532 unit has also been used. On 4 May 1987 Nicolas Hulot flew a Mistral to the geographic north pole.
Open house has been declared.

Thanks S'land, the "French" gave it away. Aviasud made some pretty nice aircraft, all with a destinctive design. I flew the Albatros a couple of times, very nice plane, easy to fly.

Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1 ?
I initially thought the airspeed indicator calibrations were for ultra-low speed ops, not high speed performance, and I mistook the propellant valves on the starboard side of the cockpit for "Handrader Kappenbetatigung" controls. Funny how anticipation based on assumption can influence perception.
Also, I would have sworn that we had this aircraft cockpit posted before.

EvansB,
extremely close. According to my information, the picture does not show the BI-1 though, but the BI-6 with its wing tip mounted ram jets.
????????, ????? ?? (bottom of page)
Anyway, let us not start to split hairs here - your controls.
