Good morning!

One last hint: The location on my photo is the “Internationales Luftfahrt Museum” at Villingen-Schwennigen in the south-west of Germany.

Good morning!

The gyroglider in question is named after the person having constructed and built it (surprise, surprise…). This person has also built the two WWII-era planes visible in the photo.

Interesting location. Please let us know where this photo was taken once someone comes with the solution 🙂

Wilco. IMHO via the location is your best chance of identifying the “Wot”…

Good morning!

Two other hints: The current ‘Wot’ is a one-off of German origin.

By way of clarification rather than an attempt to obtain a premature clue, can you say whether it is a gyroglider or a gyrocopter without its engine in situ?

It’s a gyroglider – no engine.

Don’t know about the thing in front, but is that a 262 lurking in the long grass behind the 190 ????

Yes, indeed.

However, it’s only a replica – not an original!

Good morning!

Looks like a Dominion Skytrader to me.

Take a look at this page: http://pioneerflightmuseum.org/news/index.shtml

Everything seems to match.

Thanks for the link – very interesting. I agree to your your opinion (which also matches the one quoted from FLUGZEUGFORUM, as you might have guessed from the photo’s file name…)

Nevertheless I would appreciate positive confirmation that Kermit Weeks had an S-4 (BEFORE relocating to Polk City, NOW one is quoted to be part of his Fantasy of Flight collection). And a serial/constructor’s number would be just great…

Good morning!

I just learnt that the FIAT G.59 belong to Jerry Yagen, has been at Meier Motors in Germany for some time and now is apparently in Milan because of an Italian Group working on converting it to G.55 Centauro configuration.

Kind regards,

Yes, correct.

It is the SAAB 105/Sk 60 “60082” at the Ängelholms Flygmuseum in Sweden. My pictures were taken about five weeks ago.

Your turn!

Because of the rather limited scope for recognition of the current “Wotplane” and the bad quality (sorry, I’m no digital native…), another part of the same aircraft.

A hint: Although the photos were made in a museum, the aircraft type in question is still being used on a day-to-day basis (including by the original first user).

Fw 44 J Stieglitz

Correct!

The photo show (part of) a Stieglitz belonging to the Quax-Flieger in Paderborn/Germany – or to one of their members.

It did not have any serial or so, but I believe it to be the one that used to hang in the so-called “Bremenhalle” at Bremen Airport (marked as D-EHOO) – this is the place where the Junkers W 33 “Bremen” is exhibited (on loan from the US).
