Maybe one of the four slightly different GAL 56 tailless gliders?

Just in case it isn't a GAL glider I will enter the Armstrong Whitworth AW52G as a possibility?

To get this one out of the way before I disapear for Christmas I'll just say that it is a GAL design with a tail.

We must be running out of GALs soon? :)

GAL 55? Although that appears to be side-by-side trainer?

I would have thought it was more likely to be the General Aircraft GAL.56, sweptwing tail-less glider.

However, you state it has no tail so it is not the GAl.56

Unless it is the G.A.L. 50, a half scale version of the Hamilcar.

The GAL 50 is correct.

Something from the Bucker stable?

this one was not from the Bucker stables, sorry.

Vultee Valiant/Vibrator ?

Not the Vultee Valiant/Vibrator I am afraid. Sorry for the delay.

Looks like the Curtiss-Wright CW-21?

Planegill :ok:. You have it as according to my source it is the cockpit of a Curtiss-Wright CW-21B.
You have control.

Thanks Mel.
Here is a new challenge to warm up for the New Year, if you have recovered from the Xmas festivities.

This looks like a high speed racer from between the wars. The raked windscreen puts me in mind of a Caudron design, the C460, yet the placards are in English. American Weddell-Williams 22?

Sorry Harley, not a racer. This was a production aircraft.

I thought it might be a Percival Mew Gull in one of its iterations, but they were racers...

Maybe a Waco QCF ?

Hi Mechta. You are quite right, it is not a Percival Gull of any kind. The cockpit is far too well-organised to be a British aircraft. It is not from the Waco stable either. Right side of the Atlantic though.

Douglas O-43 ?
