Mmm. I've gone through a list of manufacturers and none, that I can see, have names made up of any of those letters . Think I'll go back to concentrating on the aircraft itself.

Correction

so what do letters often refer to in aviation?


Correction:
the designer was German but the aircraft were built in three other countries, possibly a fourth
I think that actually they were only built in two of the countries. Sorry.

Trouble is I keep looking at the aircraft and it looks just like a certain Waco model. I'm presuming there is no connection?

If thats the only image then I'm guessing it is something very scarce.

Work to do now so will check in later to see if its gone or if there are any more clues.

As far as I know there were only three built. Two in one country and one in another - same designer - different manufacturer. Based on that I guess it is scarce. I have found references on the web but only one photo - the one I used.

Catch you all (?) later......

..and work on the theme of the post..
The designer/manufacturer was associated with/based in at least three countries, probably four!
...but you have now said the latter statement is not correct....

I'm back...well going the registration route brings me to Sweden and Greece. Can't think of any Greek aircraft that fit the bill, but there is a distinct likeness to the Svenska Aero SA-14 Jaktfalken, which was designed by a certain Mr Bucker.

But I cannot see that the aircraft was built in more than one country and there were certainly more than 3 built.
