Slb,
Thanks for that fascinating article. I had no idea that the French operated Japanese aircraft in Vietnam.

yes - I.m always astonished by both the challenges and the speed of Id on here
It's not really a case of big brain, more detective work. The mystery plane was obviously preserved, the trees and people sitting outside sort of said SE Asia or tropics, the roundel under the wing was Thai Air Force or similar. Google Venezuelan and Thai airplane museums and troll through loads of images to find one that looks similar. Then try to work out which of the various names and designations associated with those images is the correct one. Choose the wrong one, post reply then decide that was not quite right, choose again and edit the post hoping it's correct this time. Having spare time helps a lot and the ambition to beat Noyade helped also. So can anyone beat Noyade on this one ........?
So Noyade has it again! Yugoslavian Ikarus S145M Zolja (Wasp) 1954 vintage. It confused me as to why the wings folded so that's why I chose it.
Noyade has control.

Father and son team. They built a handful of different aircraft - this is the late 80's.
This machine was designed for unlimited aerobatic competition and airshow work. Plan was to eventually install 350hp engine. These photos show 200hp.
Somewhat like Grumman - their aircraft names have "CAT" in them.
