I wonder if it's an old AQ challenge. Not from the low countries i.e. Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg |
Surely fairings would cover the wheels.
Eastern Europe ? |
I've just found an aeroplane with the same tail stripes.
It's Polish - any warmer ? Anything to do with the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932 ? |

Arado LII prolly.
"In 1930, a Revised version, the L IIa first flew, and four examples took part in the Challenge International de Tourisme 1930, starting from Berlin-Tempelhof airport, but none placed, and one crashed early in the race!. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....216001dbd4.jpg |
You have it Dook it was the Arado Ae L.IIa I believe those fairings on the undercarriage cover part of the complicated spring assembly..
|
|
I'm thinking H.P. 39 Gugnunc.
|
Jhieminga has it with the H.P. 39 Gugnunc and found it very quickly.
All yours. |
I didn't recognise it and I've seen the damn thing - mind you, it was a long time ago!
|
Open house it is, as I can’t come up with anything right now. I’ll go and pat myself on the back 😉

It has a T-tail, but was cropped out due to a super-imposed logo that was a major clue. |
French possibly...?
|
|
Looks like a Meteor windscreen?
|
"Logo ? What logo ?....."
Presumably on the Photo - as in "Do not copy this picture" rather than the aeroplane............... Very odd aircraft - that tail looks quite modern |
Russian apparently, but it does look like a Meteor screen.
|
It has now been almost 48 hours since the challenge was posted.
Is anyone going to name it ? |
All I know is that I saw the same photo 30 - 40 years ago. I believe. Can't remember where or why
