I've just returned from my morning constitutional and I see that 24 hours has passed and I can declare that oncemorealoft is correct - the GA Hamilcar. Impressive ID skills.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2324c57a78.jpg It was the world's heaviest glider at 36,000 lb AUW. Don't worry Slb, I've done the same thing myself. I'm sure you would have got it if I had posted the unclipped image: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a374096fa.jpeg The flap and spoiler quadrant would have been a giveaway! I am intrigued by the markings on the flap quadrant - lift, neutral and drag. Does anyone have a copy of the Pilot's Notes? Also the Spoiler handle was a surprise. I have not seen any references to spoilers nor in any pictures, particularly in this cutaway: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....da3b5b6190.jpg oncemorealoft has declared Open House. |

Clue.
It was probably warmer inside. |
|
Biplane with enclosed passer cabin and open cockpit behind. DH-83 Fox Moth could fit the bill.
|
Yes it could. But no it isn't.
I've actually all but given you the answer already. |
Almost 400 build in various guises.
This versatile design came in a surprising variety of guises. |
Jackaroo??
|
Uh huh.
Fast fighter with both one end two seats, long range aircraft, two seat civvy tourer, four place 'airliner', floatplane. It was a versatile old bird. I'll accept several mainly detail variants on the same basic design. Blatant clues above... |
British? its hard to see much in that pic................
|
I guess it's something like the Curtiss P1 hawk?
|
Both correct.
Sorry about the poor pics, they're the only ones I could find. |
Martinsyde A Mk II -?
|
Aha! The four-place variant of the Martinsyde Buzzard.
|
Tis the season for giving.
I give you - Open House. :ok: |
Oh! I do have one!
This unintentionaly aptly named machine was not a success. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....86224b92a5.png |
That hideous device! There were still some promotional items about it lying around at Elbeflugzeugwerke when I visited Dresden about 15 years ago.
Landing gear indicators might be a clue? |
Is wasn’t bad. It was worse!
|
Four-gear lights, Dresden. It can only be the unique Baade 152:

India 42 has it.
I really should be more careful, I thought I'd scoured that pic for give-aways. |
