Sorry, but it isn't.

Is there any flight test report on the Tuscar? I wonder about its inherent flight stability. Normaly tailless aircraft or flying wings need a significant wash-out on the tips, or an s-shaped airfoil to compensate the nose-up moment, but neither is visible in the side view. Has anybody an idea on the flight stability?

That would be the Haacke HFM-2 air-cooled flat twin engine, 22 kW (30 hp) and fitted to the Dzialowski D.K.D.1 aircraft from Poland.

It was the Driggs Card Model 2. You have control.

Lovely word to say; sesquiplane.

Ah! Yes! Of course! A 1922 Phutney-Creech T Mk IV Aerial Land Yacht!

I never fail to be amazed at the insanely esoteric knowledge of some of the posters here. The last half dozen types I've never heard of and I thought I was a bit of an anorak...

Oh well, back to obscurity!

keep 'em coming!

Dust off your anorak and give it a try.

I will see if I can find some more flattering pictures.

I know that I said that I wouldn't play any more but I have always had a soft spot for the De Schelde Scheldemusch and Scheldemeeuw and I think, SLB, your photograph is of the latter.

MReyn24050 17th Mar 2020 14:50

Interesting. Is it a flying boat/seaplane? The helmet the pilot is wearing looks like that worn by German Fighter Pilots WW1. The guy at the back thinking "Don't say he has lost the p-tube again.

I have to say I like that a lot: it looks well-made and has a great deal of charm. No idea what it is but can't wait to find out!
