No idea what it is. I was wondering what it's doing stuck on that pole. Unless it's some new-fangled type of hangar it looks like a weathervane.

??? ??? Thought it was a wind-tunnel model at first. Why the cover if it's on display? Weird. Let's see... not a Micco, not a Varga... oh, I give up.

Did it come from A-net, given the black line on the base of the photo - if so, I'm stumped...

Although the colourscheme is very reminiscent of a NASA one...

It looks familiar Theis but the problem is that there's so many similar types it could be almost anything. Going by your previous puzzlers I'm guessing it's of Danish manufacture but can't think of anything. I'll stick my neck out & suggest the Piaggio P-149 but I'm not confident. http://www.fly-navy.de/props/piaggio.html

I had been thinking along those lines, but maybe with interestingly fashioned non standard tail feathers...

Ahhh, get your point now - even Airliners.net don't know what it is...

I get the feeling it's a composite - the tail looks very interesting - possibly un-airworthy...

Found it!

If I spoke Danish I'd be ok- does HL-1 have anything to do with it - Theis, over to you...

Eh, figures it's Danish... unfair! I can't stump anybody by sticking to American planes... they're all too famous! Wink

. Oh, well... guess I'm gonna have to acknowledge the rest of the world...
Seriously, theis: good one. The best part of this (besides guessing first!) is learning.

Correct!
it is a HL-1 from 1958
it have never flown, and it will be replaced soon by a Avro 540k from 1917 because that was the first type, that flown from avedore
and this was the last guess a plane (for now)
it will start again, when i have found new interesting planes to guess

Good one, theis- question: is that plane going to be flown after it comes off the pole, or what? Just thought it was odd that it had a canopy cover on it like that.

Would that be a typo on the Avro 504K ?.....its a very famous early trainer, and I wondered about that when I saw the reference in Danish on that linked page ?

Where exactly is this pole situated? I would hardly think a 504K was suitable for sticking on top of a pole unless it was inside. Or maybe I misunderstood. ???

That runway looks like part of a racetrack.

I found a photo of this Avro 540K among several other references. http://owen2.otago.ac.nz/Owen/XuAir2004/More2004.html
I know I get easily confused these days but I think it's a typo. Never heard of a 540K before. Looks very much like a 504K to me.
Whatever it is I'm not sure it's at all suitable for sticking on that pole.

I'm with Charlie on this. I googled "Avro 540" and in the several instances, the term Avro 540 is mixed in with references to " Avro 504" . I tend to think it's a proliferation of typos.

I do not put out, however, that the "540" may have been a later development of the 504, but even the radial engined version of 1925 was still a 504N.

There would have been a "540", as there was a 531/538 (Spider) and 555 (Bison), but *I* haven't found a convincing reference to it.
