S'land...that was quick. It is indeed the Duruble RD-02 Edelweiss which was designed as a Homebuild aircraft in the 1960's. The RD-02 is still available as the RD-02A, although I believe only 1 or 2 are actually flying.
S'land, over to you.

Sorry Ken,

Re the Super Solution Yes it is the replica that was at Oshkosh in '02...a really nice looking aeroplane in my opinion too.

Another quick one, well done John. It is indeed the Koolhoven FK 52. Powered by a Bristol VIII 840hp engine only six were manufactured. The prototype first flew in February 1937, but later crashed. The design was obsolete by 1938. However, in 1939 the Dutch Air Force ordered 36 units, but only five had been completed before the German invasion of Holland. Two aircraft were used by the Finnish Air Force, both were lost. The FK 52 bore the nickname kolho, clumsy.
You have control.

Carson1934. I appreciate the reasons why you posted the photograph of the Nord 1101 Noralpha at Posts #s 1877,1878 and 1879 but from diesel addict's post # 1880 they are causing confusion. Might I suggest that you delete them now that you are mastering the art of posting images as I am sure a similar request will be forthcoming from the mods. From the Image Posting on PPRune - some tips for you thread:-

Ah, I was sure it was one of those two, but picked the wrong one !!
Edit -
On the basis that I thought as the Noralpha was perhaps a little better known, the poster would have chosen the Norecrin.......
