Name that Flying Machine
I think people should have to state the name of the aircraft to win TBH - hints etc are fine if you know what it is (I've done it myself) - but that isn't the same as answering the question
However as OH was declared everyone may post a new challenge.
Dook gave a suggestion that MReyn should be the first to take this OH.
and that is fine with me.
More correctly - I 'won' (although it was actually my better half that ID'd it),however as Dook said - it was obvious that Mreyn had already ID'd the aircraft from his little hints,he is much more likely to post a challenging 'challenge' so I am also more than happy that Mreyn has posted the latest challenge.

You have it dook, My reference, Tschechslowakische Flugzeuge by Hans-Joachim Mau gives it as VPS Svazarmu R-7 Racek. however I note Secret Projects state Mr. Zdenek Rublič was from Czech,and he born in 1902,became interesting in Avia from 1920s,then with Mraz after the
WWII with Sokol,and in 1961 he developed a R-7 Racek,which was a single seat low-wing aerobatic monoplane,powered by one 160 hp Walter Minor 6-III engine.

Eight hours between successive challenges. Have the rules changed?

Bear,
I am aware of that. That's why I answered the question from I42 in that way.
MReyn,
No connection to the Church that I know of. I think the tyres and wheels were for the reason you suggest.

I read it that the 24hr rule has been suspended - but over enthusiasm will bring it back..................
