Now the regulars on this forum know I wouldn't do that! As Sinco says, you'll get there....just watch the clues.

Talking of which, to help you along, it first flew in 1923.

Hi strega....that would make it easy, believe me!

What else can I tell you....
- your closest guess was Germany
- the company was formed in 1912

Guys, I'm going to be offline for a few hours shortly.

Will check in when I return and see where you are at....I'm guessing it will have gone by then.

Final clue before I go:
one of the most well known products of this company first flew in 1955....many of these are still flying today.

Hi Guys,

I did have to come back to work again, but I'm going to be busy, so I just had a quick look to see how things are going.

Ken said he would be offline for a few hours and I don't know exactly what he wants for an answer. I do know the website where Strega found the picture, and I know that there are other images on there that don't quite get the names right.

It is a sesquiplane and Ken may accept that as an answer, but it would be good practice for competing on this forum, to while away the time digging a little deeper and find out what the manufacturer actually called it. You've got all the information you need to find it.

BTW, when I said "take courage", I was hinting at "Dutch Courage", but like "spilling the beans", it may not be used much these days.

Bye now and good digging!
