    Have sent you private message on the source of the photo’s. (nothing secret).
    I think this forum is a perfect way of learning about lesser known aircraft which also deserve their place in aviation history (I think).
    This twin appeared early-1950s and only single one was built.

    You are very close. It is the Kjolseth PKX-2 (also X-2) of Lt. Col. Paul Kjolseth of the Norwegian AF. It had a 800hp G.E. YT58 engine and first flew during 1960. Development was slow and after the PKX-2 was lost in an accident in March 1965. the development was halted.
    Attached foto (outside the quizz) is of the PKX-1, his first design. This aircraft is now in the Gardemoen Museum.
    Mondariz, your turn

    Funny picture. Is this what we call Payload?
    The heli is European from a country which you would possibly not expect. Not East European. It has a US made turbine engine

    Dear Mondariz,
    Many thanks for the link about the M-17. Beautiful pictures on a lesser known aircraft. I particularly liked the photo with the kids towing the aircraft. When I was a kid I always hated the fence/barrier between aircraft and me.
    When its my turn, I will post a heli and think you will like it (and very probably also will know it)
    Regards, Wout

    John, your feeling did not desert you. Right on the spot.
    Started as the EM-5A Dudus Kudlacz homebuilt project of Mr. Edward Marganski
    and two prototypes were planned, to be built by PZL-Mielec as M-17.
    Only one was completed and flown (SP-PEM). Engine was a 160hp Walter Minor 6-III and first flight 7 July 1977.

    Your turn!

    John, sorry. One of my favorite subjets, one-off/experimental aircraft
    This is also a one-off. Will accept two names/designations (designer or company that took over).

    Dear Mondariz,
    congratulations and thanks for the beautiful picture.
    The Clark 1000 was developed by Clark Aircraft, Inc. of Marshall Texas and the first example flew 19 March 1956.
    I know of following registrations: N9017R, N9018R, N9022R (the one in Mondariz’ photo), N78854. I also saw the Clark Model 1000 also described as the Clark Model 12 (Air Pictorial in the 1950s) and N78854 also as the Thompsopn Special. Production probably between 6 and 10 (assuming N9017R thru N9022R was a block used for the Clark 1000).
    Have no idea why both Clark Model 1000 and 1000C designations were used. Maybe C for Continental?

    Your turn for a juicy one!
