Is it a YAK-15? Possibly in Czechoslovakian service?

OK, it's not a -15' may be a YAK-23 but something still not quite right!

Yes.. it's the Ryan but as Noyade says function leads to form.. (Thinking Storch , Single Pioneer or even the Helio Courier)

Thanks. Another aircraft I had never heard of.

Manx - tailless - geddit?





I struggled with the "swept leading edge" until I realized that the Gypsy Major had a prop shaft extension, which made me think of pushers. A bit of Googling quickly led me to the Manx, hidden in a plethora of weird aeroplanes!

Nothing immediately available, so Open House.
