Slingsby Falcon ?
It is. Specifically a Falcon III modified as a flying boat for use by the Windermere branch of the ATC. Up to 2009 it survived in the Steam Boat Museum on Windermere but that closed " for refurbishment" in that year.

....and thanks for saving me the effort of loading the original.

Similar yes, but not identical. This is a post-war design.

Looks like it may have a Walter inline engine, so could it be the Hungarian R.18 Kanya ??

[I]SincoTC[I] is correct. The R.18 Kanya was designed by the father of the man who designed the Rubik's cube. Your control.

Thank you evansb,

I didn't know about the Rubik connection; its main design role was a glider tug.

Here's something a little faster!

Something called Bisnovat Samolyot 5-1 (three gliding tests before crash). Or maybe 5-2 (16 gliding tests before abandoned. No powered flights).

Anyways, Bisnovat 5.

Thanks TC!

I'll put this one up, although I will soon retire. I hope you prefer that to an OH. Will monitor in the morning (unless it gets shot down in the ususal 4 to 6 minutes )

G'day Reg. Took a punt that they're the Ural Mountains in the background. Therefore Russian.
Is it the Tupolev PS-9?
