[norwich]

Chiglet, nice picture, wrong aircraft, sorry, not Italian either, another nation removed from the search ! Keith.

[Lindstrim]

Some sort of early Yak/MiG?

[LowNSlow]

I have no idea what it is but it looks like the illegitimate child of coupling between a Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon and a Proctor!

Mmm maybe something from the pen of Ernst Heinkel?

[norwich]

Lindstrim, Not Yak or Mig, in fact not Russian !

LowNSlow, What these manufacturers get up to when away from home is their secret ???
There is no Heinkel input as far as I know ! But some Germanic influence in its later life ?????

Norwich's challenge

Avia B.35 perhaps?

[norwich]

Mel there is no perhaps, Yes the Avia B.35, the sillouette is a B.35/1, the later B35/3 had retractable u/c.
The second prototype flew with success only one month before Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, the Germans continued production and updates, there could have been influence from Heinkel but what I have read does not mention this ! Looking forward to your next challenge ?

Thanks Keith, a very interesting aircraft. Must have caused a problem regarding recognition as it certainly looks like a spitfire.
Here is the next one:-

I am fairly sure it is from the Netherlands. I expect the name will float across my memory at about Oh dark thirty........

[treadigraph]

I've absolutely no idea what it is, but the side elevation reminds me irresistably of a Chris Wren "oddentification"!

By Slingsby out of Auster, but then that wouldn't be Dutch...
