Time to reveal. This is a Northrop A-17A Nomad that Douglas borrowed to test air foil sections for the giant C-74 transport. Not sure if the outboard props were powered by small engines or just windmilled. Don't know why Douglas didn't just use something of their own as a testbed.
Maybe better luck with this spiffy twin boom amphibian-
-
Spiffy indeed - I suppose if I ever wanted the ultimate prezzie from Santa, a small amphibian would just about fit the bill. (plus a course of flying lessons, natch)
This one is the Airmaster Avalon 680.
Pretty certain I'm right with this one, and we're not going to hear much from Texas for a while (apart from a few cows snoring) so we'll push on with another smoothie..
-
Avtek 400 proof of concept.
-
Proof of Concept it is indeed ! (What does that actually mean ? A prototype ?)
-
More like a "See? We told you it could fly!" :)
Here's a cute little plane for you guys:
-
I think we have one of these in the kids' play park.....
-
Awfully quiet around here... Not many autogyro experts here?
This one was designed in the sixties by a pioneer on gyros; the desing was later bought by a different company though they never built any.
The owner of the company under whose name this gyro was built once moved a large object to an entirely different country, piece by piece..
-
This the McCulloch J2 Gyroplane?
-
:icon29: to Texas!
:applause:
-
Thanks, got lucky on that one. Not my strong suit.
This twin boomer has been in the queue for some time. Was trying to dig up a better photo but what the heck. All I have is this frontal shot and a small front profile. Should be enough for you experts!
-
This one is of historical significance. A one-off of course.
-
Looks like a Burnelli design..
-
Not a Burnelli. You can strike the USA off the list...
-
This wouldn't be our old chum M.de Monge again ? The 120, maybe ?
-
Not a De Monge effort or from France...
-
Open Board
Right. Bit of a stinker here. This is one of the original MacRobertson racers, the Harkness & Hillier Monoplane of Sydney, Australia. The story goes it was displayed in a department store for a while to help generate interest and funding. It did not get finished in time for the race but wondered if they flew it afterwards. Anyone have a better photo?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Will be out of action for a day or so. Declaring open board here-
-
OK - I'll bite again - a familiar looking fighter ....
-
Finnish VL Pyorremyrsky...
Darn sure about it, so open board, folks ;)
-
Here's a grainy girl for you all......
-
That, sir, is an Albatros L.9
100% on this, so here's something a wee bit later..
-
Looks Germanish at first glance...
-
No, it's not even Germanian.
-
It is Western European, and 4-seater advanced for its day with leading-edge slots, flaps and welded steel tube fuselage.
-
Right, were becalmed again. The stinker was a Bodiansky 20, which was French, from 1930.
Here's one that isn't French..
-
Bodiansky 20? Only a fevered troll through Aviafrance would have brought that one up!
Your new one looks Polish....wait better Czech that...
