The VT Tuuli Two is too correct! It crashed after the joystick broke off on a test flight. You have control!

There was a war-time Valmet VT Tuuli I, the post-war Tuuli II, and the side-by-side seated Tuuli III. Mel correctly identified the Tuuli II.

Thanks Mel.
I knew that all along of course! ( funny , why has my nose just grown out and touched the screen?)
Interesting series of aircraft I was unaware of pre Valmet Vihuri.
No clues for this one.

Thanks RETDPI I almost went for the ARADO AR 96B but then I noticed the UC was different.

Looks a bit Guerchais-Roche-ish to me.

PaperTiger has it. It is a Guerchais-Roche. The T-35-2 to be exact.

You have control.

Quite a puzzler you've got going! I've looked at many similar aircraft, but none match your silhouette.
Question: Who made the engine?

Sorry Chiglet -not quite but a good try!
Bri , if you go back to your Finnish fandango , you posted a picture of a successor (post 502) to the beast in question . That aircraft itself struck me as looking very similar to the aircraft below -which is itself a successor to my challenge -and powered by a similar engine to it..

Well done Mel!
Also known in Spanish service as the EE-4, it was a modification of the original open cockpit HM-1. Your picture is of the one preserved at Cuatro Vientos.
What have you got for us for the weekend?
