Of which only 2 were built, both of which had conventional wheeled undercarriages, not floats!

Picture I found had it labelled as an MF2! Grr, nothing like it in fact!

"Do Not Anchor." :)
Yes, American.
US Navy.

Hmm - cam, across a picture of something that looked very similar but had a large central float and 2 big outriggers.................... maybe by Vought?

Not Vought.
Not a particularly well known American aircraft manufacturer - they were eventually absorbed by Keystone.
Power was a Lawrance J-1.
There was also a wheeled version...

Huff-Daland HN2?

Spot on BEagle. :ok:
Over to you!

Thanks - that took a lot of delving!

Looks a bit `Rutan-ish`...?

There's a reason for that!

From the wingtip and cowling I would have to go for the Pond Racer.

ea200 beat me to it, while I was downloading a photo!

ea200, correct! It is indeed the Pond Racer which sadly crashed at Reno in Sep 1993, killing pilot Rick Brickert.

Quite some aircraft - max speed 348KIAS with a touchdown speed of 140KIAS!

Over to you, ea200!

Thanks BEagle and thanks sycamore for pointing me in the right direction.

Now this:

hmmm - first thought was some variety of Auster but I have a sneaking feeling this is some sort of gyrocopter/helicopter.................. :bored:

An aircraft with little wings....??

Not a gyrocopter or helicopter and it doesn't have little wings.

Almost definitely an Auster or perhaps a Beagle/Auster (if you know what I mean) but which particular Mark/Type of Auster I would not like to even try :)

I know exactly what you mean ;). There is a clue in the picture. When I used to fly one of these we didn't call it by its' proper name, we used a play on words.
