A check of the CASA registry for VH-GTG (the second photo) reveals it is a Carmam M-200 FOEHN.

The photo of VH-GHA appears to be the only Schneider Nymph photo on the net. airport-data.com has profiles for five nymphs, all VH reg, but no photos.

I think you are right about the Bocian, in fact the Bocian 1E with two part canopy.

Any Nymph owners or pilots, would appreciate if you could let me have some photos. PM me for my email address.

Wiki has the text and specs shown above, but no photos. No results from airliners.net, jetphotos.com, planepictures.net or Air Britain (ABpic.co.uk), although ABpic has a couple of dozen photos of the Grunau Baby, mostly hanging from hangar roofs.

I think Photo 1 is a Bocian? Photo 2 a Slingsby Dart?

Bill, do you have any photos of these aircraft? It appears that one cannot rely on internet searches.

Even "supposedly" reliable sources such as airliners.net get it wrong, or don't have any images. Just try searching for Schneider ES-56 Nymph images.

The difficulty is that you have to be an expert to pick the errors, so many of these look so much the same. The same applies to Weight shift aircraft. That's why there are so few in these pages. I would appreciate any help from those "who know their stuff."

Thanks, Bill. It came up on a search for Schneider ES-52 Kookaburra and that's how the picture was labelled. I have to say, I know very little about gliders, and finding suitable images is very difficult. Many are only postage stamp size, and would be blurry and pixelated if enlarged. Others only show part of the aicraft, or have it hidden behind other aircraft. Then again, the labelling of images on internet searches is pretty pathetic. There is a photo of a Tecnam labelled Schneider ES-52 Kookaburra.

I will remove it and replace it with the top gallery photo as the heading photo. The bottom photo came up in the same search, but did not specify the type.

Thanks for that, Onetrack, I didn't notice the tractor engine. It came up in an internet search as a Walrus. I  have replced it with another photo.

       Seems like they went to a lot of effort for very little result.

An interesting video on the development and ultimate cancellation of the VVA-14.

This is an aircraft profile - not a discussion on religion. Take that somewhere else.

Sorry, I hadn't, and haven't since, read it.

Nev, I think you posted that last comment in the wrong thread/forum.

Garry was (is?) a member of this forum, and his profile spells his name with 2 R's - Garry.

Please note: The previous profile posted earlier was deleted due to some incorrect data collected from the web.

You are right, Onetrack. There are no reports or reviews on Wikipedia, all-aero or any of the other website that I could locate with a websearch. Even byDanJohnson didn't have anything. I don't usually use makers or agent websites, but I thought this one gave the basic data I look for without being too flowery. Some are gushing, without any details. Any bits I thought were too pushy, I left out. At least they had a half-decent gallery, with good-sized images.

Getting close to my target of 1000, and it's getting harder to find planes. Search the web for lists, and find I've done most of them.

Sorry Rob. Fixed now.

You do so many of these it becomes a bit automatic. Didn't notice that the stall speed had not copied before I pasted it. Cruise still in the clipboard.

For those who were unable to see the top gallery photo above, I have renamed it and posted it below.

No, that was the CZAW SportCruiser which was sold as a Piper SportCruiser. They certainly look very similar but the SportCruiser has bent nosewheel leg like a Van's RV9A. The SportCruiser is a bit larger - length, wingspan, height, and its gross weight is 600 kg compared to 472. kg for this aircraft.

Here is a video dedicated to the Gladator.

The forgotten fighter of the Battle of Britain.

Sorry about that. I have been doing my searches based on the alphabetical list of aircraft manufacturers. I was on the Marganski list and missed the model number. Probably late at night. I will leave the image so your comment is not out of context.

The McKinnon modified versions of the Goose include the G21C with four piston engines,

and the G21G with two turbo-props.

Thanks for that Sam. Copied straight from Wikipedia. I didn't notice when creating the profile. Now corrected.

Flypast on its second testflight.

Straight copy and paste from Wikipedia. Their error.

3.81 m = 12.5 ft

3.81 m/s = 750 ft/min.

Further information found online while researching Avro 618 Ten.

"License built Fokker FVIIB /3m 14 of which were built the first five going to Australia National Airways. Two of these were lost in accidents the first VH-UMF Southern Cloud noted above and secondly VH-UNA Southern Sun in Malaya in November on the first direct mail flight between Australia and Britain."

Following the 'more information' link, Wiki says:

The prototype, registered N215RD, first flew on 17 December 2017, it gained special light-sport aircraft approval in March 2018 with the Rotax 912 ULS, Rotax 912 iS, Lycoming YO-233 and Titan OX-340 engines.[5][6]

Anyone can submit corrections to Wikipedia. I'm afraid the print on that image is a bit small for me to read.
