Name that Flying Machine
(twiddles thumbs and watches clock)
Well, the world is round you know and I sleep at different times to you, Al Sturias!
It is of course the mighty Mooney Mite. I did not know this type existed until I saw this one at Santa Monica ten years ago.
It was immediately obvious from the fin that it must’ve been a baby Mooney.

Ah but the Mods work on different hours again - I was handed 5 weeks on the bench at Christmas for doing what you've just done and I don't wish to trespass again
The 24 hours run on posted Board clock time - so you have to wait until 10:10 tomorrow on my machine before I declare a winner..................... and that is the person who actually named it

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the rule 24 hours from the original picture posting time? That 24 hours passed approximately five hours ago already.
Don`t Italian clocks go backwards...?
I waited until the hour hand had rotated twice!
However Noyade posted when I wasn’t watching, so I withdraw my OH.

Time is an illusion and lunchtime doubly so.

Don't believe I've ever seen one in Europe and a type I was unfamiliar with until I saw one at Albert Whitted Airport in Florida nearly 40 years ago. Oh look, a Mooney that's shunk in the wash...
is the aircraft American?
a non-radial engined US aircraft of that vintage? How rare!!
Looks rather like Ryanairs M-1 - but it isn't

Ah got it! Never heard of company or aircraft; I'll hang back as I have nothing to offer and I'm sure somebody will apply the same Sherlockian principles to the clues as I did! Looks a delightful little flivver! I want one...

Open House if correct, as I have nothing to offer right now.
