YR-RGU, the first Rg-7A Soim II

YR-RGU is correct
But I have her as Novitchi RG-7 Soim III

Soim III was single seat but set further back.
Here's a one off from the 30's

Should be easy enough, even if you avoid helicopters, or if you have an affinity for certain cheese slicers.

Not into helicopter but this had a spanish look to it. So started there and ended up in France with the
Matra-Cantinieau "Bamby-Faon"
Just got a chance to fly a real aircraft again this week Ferried a old saudi prince's 727 from Shannon to Florida. Flightaware JTN288

You got it Chris! Interesting that it was 'ducted thrust for yaw control" long before the MD500 NOTAR
Interesting to hear JTI is still operating. I thought it was winding down after Nomadic started up. To bad the BDA stop was so short it's a nice place to visit.

Midget racer, National Air Races, late twenties or early thirties? Unfortunately my guesswork takes me no further!
We've reached the 48hrs plus. In Aerofiles but no picture. Burrows R-5

Is there a catch?
Fokker G.IB at RAE
"Test flights from the factory were made under German supervision, but on 5 May 1941 two Dutch pilots succeeded in evading an escorting German-flown G.I and escaped to England. Their G.IB was taken to the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, for examination, and used subsequently by Phillips and Powis (Miles Aircraft) at Reading for research into wooden construction."

No, no catch. It is the Fokker G.1b. The RAF markings might have been something of a curve ball for some but, evidently, not for you. The location is Woodley rather than Farnborough. The ball's in your court now.

Multiple variations designed around a common platform including piston and possible turboprop engines.
Product of a fertile engineering mind from eastern Europe (but not an EU aircraft) with one very-well known bird to his credit.

Jos. Kovacs was responsible for the Neiva Universal and a long-nosed bird - the Tucano.
Next? Please take a number...

The Napier-Heston Racer, perhaps?

No, Uli, it's not the Heston Type V but it is another racer that didn't make it to the starting line.
Cant help with the aircraft question if it did not appear, but there was one that pulled out of the preliminaries of the 1933 Coupe Deutch de la Meurth air race, Nick Comper entered his Swift G-ABWW that year shown in that photo.
