Being 'just too late' is usually my job.

Is it German? DFS maybe? I don't know why I just pulled that outt of my arse, it was just my first thought on seeing the picture

German yes, DFS no. When this aircraft was built, the DFS had already closed its doors a long time ago. I'm such a devious mind.

Yessiree, Airspeed AS4 "Ferry". Next time I must think of something more complicated.

Hi Krabat, welcome back!
Is this a contraption from "Gruse" or "Pützer"? One can't even tell if this was a glider or a motor driven A/C.
And then the colour, hadn't this people a minimum of good taste?
Anyway that's a hard nut to crack for me...

It's a twin engine aircraft which actually never flew. The designer and builder was arrested the day before its planned flight. Engines and wheels are from motorcles (I got a bike of this type years ago, maybe I buy it back and restore it just out of nostalgia). And carson, we had a lot of good taste then, but sometimes there are things that are more important than that.

Notwithstanding your clues I'm unable to identify your post. But I'm curious to know what motorbike engine or wheels it may have used (you said you got one of that type). When I was a kid around 1948-50 my father used to buy and sell war surplus motorbikes mostly german so I was growing up amidst BMW, DKW, Zundapp and the like..that's why I'd like to know...
carson1934

PS Obviously it's neither a Gruse nor a Pützer

The bike was one of those:

I would be surprised if you knew it. I had the successor, the ETZ 250:

21 instead of 19hp, 5-speed-gearbox and disc brake. I was sooooo proud then. No comparison to a really modern bike but nevertheless everything a young guy could dream of (apart from the thing with the girls).

The plane still exists. It's in a museum in the same town I live in, arguably the most famous museum for technics and industry in Germany.

Hi Krabat,
excellent pictures of fairly old bikes...I also had many of them and those that remained in my heart are a red Gilera, a Ducati and a silver Mondial...
Going back to aircraft matters, I found your picture which is naturally in the Deutsches Museum in München but unfortunately for me I can't identify it yet as it is simply tagged as "glider".
I'll have a further look but I don't think I can come any closer than that...

Parnall Pixie came to mind but it seems that isn't the answer. Looks like the same Bristol Cherub engine though.

Hi Marcogrifo,
is this the counterpart to Donald Duck's convertible with licence number 333?
