    I presume that you didn’t intend, Thomas, to leave the caption on the photograph!

    S..t!:apologetic:

    You’re right – I didn’t.

    Next time I’ll be more careful.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks Kevin, wish it is in your barn.

    This one is relatively new (the design first flew 1998), but seems there is renewed interest to (finally) let it enter production. Hope they will make it available in other colors too.

    One clue: 4 built initially,but only two flew before the curtain fell.

    Hello Walter!

    This looks like a Mylius My 103 to me (although there are small differences to the examples I know).

    Kind regards from Leverkusen,
    Thomas

    Is it the Tui Sports?

    Hello!

    Yes, it is the North Tui Sport(s). :applause:

    I took the photo at the MoTaT in Auckland in March this year. Contrary to what Wikipedia says, a sign near this plane says that it’s a replica and only the Szekely engine is original.

    Your turn, Lightning Mate!

    Kind regards

    Good evening!

    The original of the current WOT was first flown in 1934.

    The plane depicted in my photo is a replica – the only original part of it is its engine.

    Hello!

    This is probably the CSIR SARA II from South Africa.

    The extra yoke is for the nose wheel steering, only the first pilot has the control.

    Dear Peter!

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    Hello Rob!

    Thanks for showing the pictures of the Gatwick Aviation Museum. I was given the “Shackleton tour” in the autumn of 2007 – and I am still asking myself what the small “auxiliary” yoke on the pilot’s side is for.

    Any idea?

    Regards from Germany

    Yesterday we received this Sud-Est Alouette II Helicopter from the http://www.luftfahrtmuseum-wernigerode.de in exchange for the Rutan Quickie (owned by one of our members).
    So for the very first time since the German Heeresflieger have left the airfield in 2007 a military helicopter can be seen in Mendig. We are very much looking forward showing the Alouette II to our visitors this weekend during the Open-Day.

    Dear Stefan!

    Thanks very much for the update on the “Fliegendes Museum Mendig”.

    I have a small correction, however: D-EJUL is no Rutan Quickie but a Walters/Nelson or Viking Dragonfly/Libelle. The following picture shows the same aircraft on the occasion of the ILA 1984 (Hannover).

    Kind regards,
    Thomas

    Good question, Banupa!

    The same cross my mind last month, when I was starting my return-to-home- journey after a holiday in New Zealand.

    An interesting sight was a Convair 580 of Air Chatham Islands (ZK-CIB?) taking off half an hour before my own flight…

    Kind regards,
    Thomas

    Off topic, but since you asked: This is the wheel in question…

    Correct!

    It’s the mentioned Bianchi replica of the Vickers 22 in the Southward Car Museum at Paraparaumu on New Zealand’s North Island. I took the picture during a visit last month.

    Re “big wheel on the right”: This is a wheel from Donald Campbell’s World Land Speed Record-breaking car “Bluebird”.

    Your turn, RAB!

    The cars are optional…

    I’m satisfied when I hear the correct designation of the plane!
