The VBŠ Kuňkadlo is a Czechoslovak light single-seat sports airplane built by the brothers Vladimír and Bohuslav Šimůnková between 1924 to 1926. Problems identified after the first flight led to an extensive redesign and eventually a successful plane that performed at air shows throughout the country. After WWII it was donated to the Národní technické muzeum in Prague where it is now on display. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
