Had only been lurking for a few mins. I just saw your clues, tapped it in to Google and bingo! Case of right place right time. Don't think I would have got there without them - a triplane is not exactly what I was expecting

Next one:

Nothing that I can see Just the design of the undercarriage legs. Theres a couple of extra struts that form an inverted V connecting the wheel spats to the underside of the fuselage. In the silhouette these merge in to the undercarriage legs.

That's the one Karl Just a few built. OH-VKK is the prototype. It was offered both as a landplane or on floats. Just 2 built, one of which remains in a museum today.


Karlark has control

Evening LM.

It's a silhouetting phenomenon.

A few stripes of light paint make it look lumpy, but it is actually flat rooted.
