The white tipped nose was not its most outstanding feature.

First thought was a Miles Student.
Second thought - the Custer CCW-5.
Third thought was technically what we see could also be described as the Baumann B-290 Brigadier - or did Custer alter the nose?
Fourth thought - sit back and enjoy a mid-morning Saturday cuppa.

Lock me in for my second thought above - Custer CCW-5.

You got a winner there Noyade. It’s not often that a post defeats the collective PPRuNe wisdom!

Here’s an aircraft I have just seen in the flesh for the first time. I’ve never seen a four-bladed prop on such a small aircraft.

Looks like a WarpDrive prop. Recent mod to an older design?
