Thankfully too disturbingly ugly to publish!

Pypard is correct - the Lancashire Prospector - and it was cropped as otherwise it would have lasted an even shorter time than it did

Will post one in a bit.

Try this then:

think its a Macchi of some sort - but which one?

Not a Macchi.
Six of these machines served with the US Coast Guard.

I think someone is on the trail... :)

Thank you Noyade, It's a black and white image, but is it lurid green in reality?

I don't think so...

The Viking OO-1, which is a licence built version of the French FBA type 17.

Correct: I was surprised that this type dates from 1931! I would assume it to be more of a post-WW1 type, but not by more than a decade. Over to you :)

Thank you, Pypard. I have to say Noyade did most of the heavy lifting on this one.
His clue made it lot easier.
On with the next one.

Something biblical?

I guess you could say that.

Well, the goat misled me as to the appropriate continent, but now I have Good News about the aircraft.

Also, I discover the type has a website dedicated to its history, and the website itself is now a historical artifact. Remember 1992 when putting up a web page was colourful fun?

Might be a S American design?

Made in the US of A.

I was surprised to see that approximately 50% of the production run still survive; one in a museum.

Designed for the same role this amazing guy does? Missionary Bush Pilot
Not that I approve 100% of the influence of missionaries, but there is a lot more than bible-bashing going on here...

Evangel 4500 - about 8 built apparently...................

Google 1974 twin engined STOL and it comes up pretty fast

OH if correct - tho Pypard obviously knew what it was.:ok:

That's the one, Asturias.
Open House called.

A blimp:

I'm confused... or rather more confused than usual......................... :confused:

Dunno the blimp reference.

But a few clues then.
(From Wiki)
Fixed undercarriage.
Only one built.
Brief career - first flew - and crashed - in 1957.
Powered by Jacobs 7-cyl air cooled radials - maximum speed was 140mph.

How about Lascurain Aura?

We had this one approximately 1760 posts ago...

Does this mean we are approaching the limit of obscure 'planes that have been photographed?

Pypard,

We’ve had several duplicates recently, including the Evangel, but that doesn’t reduce the fun.

True....some of us missed them the first time around....!!!

Well done sir! :ok:
Apologies for the duplication.

To keep challenges easy...

I think that must be an Il-14.

Not sure about the car on the left. Tatra?

I think it's this machine. Only 18 built. Plenty of coat space and a nicely decorated green toilet/bathroom.

SAAB 90 Scandia? OH if correct

Rudder in pic looks like it has 2 hinges but the diagram has 3?

Noyade had an idea but G-ARZG called it out loud, Saab 90 Scandia it is.

OH declared.

Automobile to the left of the 1964 VW Beetle is a 1948 Mercury Town Sedan Deluxe 4-door, complete with suicide doors. Powered by a Ford flat-head V-8 engine. The roof-top baggage rack may indicate use as a crew shuttle vehicle.

One that has passed my by over the years
