Does the first one have anything to do with 'Sparka' and the latter have anything to do with 'A-42PE'?

Yeah, but a search on the web turns up nothing...

Sparka* is a general term for Trainer or Two-seater.

And the award for the most annoying background goes to... Tongue

So it's called a Bolkhovitinov 'S' then?

Quite a revolutionary idea for its time. The long nose & canopy reminds me of some successful Pilatus designs. Also an aircraft I saw displayed at Shoreham some years ago. The name escapes me for the moment but it had a very long nose & twin fins & rudders.* Pete will know the one I mean.

*PS. Bingo. It has three fins. http://www.aviastar.org/air/switzerland/faf_c-3605.php
