Excellent Graeme! We'll done. As I said, it was a new one to me.

lol...the auto-correct kept changing Heine to Heinz, I never noticed it was changing Schwarz to Schwartz!

And kept trying in this post, too.

You shall not prevail, auto-correct, not today...

What glider being pulled by what plane? Sorry for poor photo (a still from a lost archival film).

 

[Wurger]

IMHO the glider is the Japanese Kokusai Ku-7 Manazuru. The tug seems to be either the Mitsubishi G4M or Mitsubishi Ki-67.

You sir, are good! Here's the only other photo I could find of the tug & glider. Looks like a Ki-67 Hiryu.

 

[Wurger]

Yep it looks like .. Ki-67 ...

What's this stunner?

Pobjoy engine?
It's spinning backwards whatever it is. That must help narrow it down a bit.

Ronald MacDonald's business jet?

I expect it replaced its biplane predecessor:

That plate has got to be worth something to someone...and that person should be locked away.

Yet another example of Google providing me with information that I never knew I wanted....and now I do know it, I wish I didn't.

Good eye, Graeme!

If I'm not mistaken, Pobjoy Niagra engines were used on the half-scale Stirling for proof of concept.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I should have know Graeme would get it. Well done.

Guys, check out Ed Nash's "Forgotten Aircraft (or) Military Matters " YouTube channel. See the latest entry. The Fleuh.

I seemed to have misspelled it. I think it's. Floh.

What crazy voodoo is this you speak of? Writing on paper, sending in an envelope? BAH!!! Video, or at least a still image or it never happened.

It did indeed. The S.31 (M4) was powered by four of them, allegedly producing 114 h.p. each, which seems a lot.

Thanks Jim!
