Bloody spell check!

I turned mine off ages ago; I need the mental stimulation of actually getting the spelling right all by myself.

Not bad. Saab 210 Lildraken. 70% concept prototype for the Draken. Later modifed with intakes moved back to wing root.

Where was the original photo taken? It almost looks like an Australian salt lake bed.

Don't know. Being Sweden, possibly some airfield with a dusting of snow.

Don’t know what it is but looks like it was styled by the designer of the 2CV!

I wonder what nickname they gave it? Something that fugly would have to have a nickname.

I don't know what function it serves having your prop centerline pretty much level with the bottom of an almost flat fuselage,  requiring hugely long u/c just to keep your prop off the ground.

Platzer Kiebitz, an amateur-built aircraft built from plans by home builders. Quite a surprising number are registered and flying, and the engine choice is up to the builder. Engines used have been a small Nissan automotive engine, Rotax, VW, Sauer, and I believe I've seen one fitted with a radial, possibly a Rotec?

 

EDIT: - No, it has a radial-shaped cowling, but the engine is actually a Limbach 2000 flat four.
