Not an Aeronca or Caspar, however the similarities between this and the Aeronca C-2/C-3 are unmistakeable. The Aeroncas had landing/flying wires for wing bracing whereas this one has more contemporary wing struts. Both are from the same era. Produced in a few variants differing mainly in the powerplants. Total production of 55 of which 4 are known to still exist today (2 flying, 1 in museum, and 1 project). It hails from the cornfields of Indiana.
The pictured mystery was originally fitted with a 40HP Rathel, later with a 45 HP Szekely.
I knew as soon as someone googled "Aerofiles Rathel" it wouldn't be long.....#4 in the results.
Over to you Kevin.
Yep, Rathel gave it away. No shame though as that was a tough one!
Kerosine burner...
Northrop X-4 Bantam, I believe.
Thanks Moses,
on with the next offering:
SNCASO SO.1070 Griffon
Air Sud Ouest's ASO-1070 Griffon of 1946, indeed.
Your turn
Another pixelated horror for your amusement.....
Hi DHC2Pilot The Partenavia P-52 Tigrotto, maybe ?
Not just maybe Walter...spot on. All yours.
Please try this nice red one. Not a homebuilt!
This was a prototype aircraft. Very well-known designer and manufacturer (no longer active)
Europe, 1972.
The company's types were all single engine, except one. And that one is still being built, albeit by another company.
I think it might be the Partenavia P.70 Alpha.
Hi Mike :salute:
Proficiat The only P-70 Alpha built/flown (I-CIOY). What gave it away?
That pointy nose is a little unusual. Thinking a one-off Uncle Sam...
Famous builder - one of the earliest machines designed for dropping a torpedo.
French motor.
No takers ? It's the Sopwith Type C from 1913.
Here's one which I think has appeared in this quiz before, but I rather like it and it's a bit different.....
