The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

what looks like palm trees, mountains in the back... I'll go look around SoCal some more before scouring more exotic locales
 
This seems to be the builders only successful design. His claim to fame was a really oddball aircraft that he worked on just prior to the pusher. As Rob guessed, it is a west coast company.

My guess would be a French floatplane racer of some sort. Not sure at all.

That was my first thought too, but I kept finding a bare cupboard.

People in the background keep drawing me 'east', but the overall shape and mild gullwing cornfuzzle me
 
OK. I was going to demand the BW suffix, but the 35 it is. Only pic I can find.

Over to a presumably hot Texas from an absolutely sodden Fife - the Open Championship is in danger of being washed out ! :icon29:

(the word amongst the golf buffs here is that Tiger won't even make the cut..)

I went thru everything `Klemm`I could find but the only floater was a pretty standard Kl35 two seater on floats from Norway.

Finally found one captioned and the fusleage and cockpit matches[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Monaco] but it`s on wheels :

Yup, it's hot but we had some decent rain last week that greened everything up for the time being.

On the Klemm, I never did find a photo. I did come across the same pic srg posted and it sure looked like it minus the floats so I went with the guess.

Part two of the pusher series- this time with twin booms. :jump: Note: Not a motor glider!
