G'day Graeme,

It is German.

The canopy shape is very similar to those two mate and I'd say it has a frame a bit like the Tsybin.

Getting there, but this wasn't a SPACE program, so all one word, lose that "e" and a bit more Germanic with the middle one! That one word and the year should work for you!

If you wanna bring it to the top of the goggle page, put where they used to hold the Ideal Home Exhibition before '78, before the word!

That's the one mate!

There seems to be a lot of differences of opinion and failure of two way translation between web translators, even trying the same one would sometimes come up with a slightly different meaning, I'm sure Reg would have an explanation!

Designed and built by amateur aircraft enthusiast and engine builder, Arthur Deicke, it took part in the Olympia-Großflugtag 1936 in Berlin. Pilot Toni Fehnbacher flew it to victory

Lightning Mate has control

There was no way I was going to get that one without clues....

mit der schitt-mixed ist!

I'm off home very shortly, so here's an easy one to be going on with - I fully expect you to solve it by the time I get home.
