Thanks treadi - but all those above me identified it first. I just pulled the trigger.
Open House.

One for the weekend - tho I don't expect it to last long

The white tipped nose was not its most outstanding feature.

First thought was a Miles Student.
Second thought - the Custer CCW-5.
Third thought was technically what we see could also be described as the Baumann B-290 Brigadier - or did Custer alter the nose?
Fourth thought - sit back and enjoy a mid-morning Saturday cuppa.

Could it be?
 

Piaggio(?),an italian job?

Lock me in for my second thought above - Custer CCW-5.

I think it was Bill Gunston who said it was Aviation Week that debunked most of what Custer claimed what the CCW-5 could do - especially "hover."

Thought it looked familiar, not from my limited experience, but from a few pages back ;o)

I'll be up bright and early tomorrow to call the result.........

Yes the Custer.... what a mad idea!!

Over to Noyade

Very neat

I'm sure I've seen this before somewhere - German? Austrian?? I keep thinking Bucker......

USA mate...

Maybe some visual clues will help? You will find it in Aerofiles.

Manufacturer...

Friday afternoon. I think it's time to shut this one down.
Twas the Viking Kittyhawk.

Open House. :ok:

You got a winner there Noyade. It’s not often that a post defeats the collective PPRuNe wisdom!

Here’s an aircraft I have just seen in the flesh for the first time. I’ve never seen a four-bladed prop on such a small aircraft.


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....00c70b532.jpeg

Looks a bit sporty......... presumably not a standard configuration for the type?

Looks like a WarpDrive prop. Recent mod to an older design?

I'll suggest a Bellanca Cruisair?

DownWest,

I’m pretty sure you are correct.

Treadders,

Wrong side of the pond.

I’ll reveal a little more skin!


https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2eec74668.jpeg

Looks like a modified`Emeraude`.....

... that's because it is a modified Emeraude! :)


https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....34d537736.jpeg

A homebuilt CP328 Super Emeraude, first registered in 1990. I spotted it last week at Grande Prairie airport, where I was participating in a SAREX.

Does anyone know if there is a benefit to adding a four-bladed prop to such a low-powered engine?

sycamore has control.

Well deserved!
I looked at this last night - but the cockpit detail kept throwing me off the scent.

Thanks chaps,but sorry ,it`ll be `Open House`....

10 days without a post.... lets try this
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bb02274712.jpg
one

Background reminds me of The Great Waldo Pepper and the WW1 filming scenes - any connection? Only German type I recall though was the Triplane and it aint that!

Is that a Stampe in the background?

The white aircraft looks like a fairly modern taildragger.

The terrain could be California or Arizona.

I thought New Zealand and then wallabies and wombats.
De Havilland Tiger Moth in the background.
I think it's a tricycle undercarriage, Simon
Had a look through Eyre's book....

Don't know about a TMM&THFM link bu there is another picture in different colours

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c1e7998635.jpg

The Stits SA-6B.

Correct - apparently 27 built and over 1000 kits sold

Quick reaction.....!! Looks like the offspring of a mating between a Tipsy Nipper & an AA1 Yankee !!

Cheers!

Moving on - to a very well known aircraft. Wiki says nearly 2,000 built....


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....14a963d70d.jpg

Lets go wild

V tailed Bonanza?

Please do. :)
Not the Bonanza - Wiki says 17,000 built?!

Much bigger aircraft. Military.

Transport?

It is a great challenge Noyade :)
The only guess I can make at the moment is - North American T28 ?

Longer Ron, think that's a good call.

In the unlikely event that T28 is the correct answer - I am afraid it will have to go to OH as I am away from home tomorrow.
