Thread: The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

  1. #2501
    This is a one-off from Europe.

  2. #2502
    By Jove, 'tis a Heinkel 20 ! (Not, according to my sources, a trainer...)


    'Infamous bomber' ? Surely not the dear old 111 ? Or the not-so-dear 177 ?

  3. #2503
    Your sources might be more accurate. Maybe a trainer/observation plane? But indeed the Heinkel H.D.20. And yes on the He 177!

    Fire at will-

  4. #2504
    I have the He20 as a reconnaissance & surveying machine - floor-mounted cameras etc.

    Here's a familiar-looking transport. Or is it ?

    Could this be the LET L-400?
    Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.

  6. #2506
    No, Ferry. Don't know much about the LET-400, but the LET-410 has a very circular fuselage, and this one is definitely square ! Not A Czech production.

  7. #2507
    No clue really. Something from Eastern Europe maybe?

  8. #2508
    It is not European at all.

    It seems you got us all left!
    A longshot, maybe a Short 360 (C-23 prototpype) with smaller windows?)

    On second thought I think the cockpit area does not match with the Short.
    My final bid: "Something" from Harbin Aircraft , PRC

  11. #2511
    Right, if Wout and Moses are out of ideas, I think we'll move on. Wout was getting close...

    This is (wait for it) the Nanchang Jing Gang Shan-4 ! (same designer as the Ring Ting Dingaling, you all cry....) It never got past prototype stage in 1970.

    Now, for all you floater lovers , one ahead of its time..

  12. #2512
    On reflection, not much to go on in that pic. Here's another..

  13. #2513
    That the Kirkham Air Yacht?

  14. #2514
    Kirkham Air Yacht it is, although The Jane's of the period refers to it as the 'Air Boat' . Quite a snazzy number for 1925, don't you think ?

  15. #2515
    For 1925, agreed that it looked ahead of it's time. Found some info in the Flight archives.

    Here is one that is armed and dangerous.....well maybe not that dangerous...

  16. #2516
    Well if that wasn't designed by our Anthony, it was somebody looking over his shoulder..........

  17. #2517
    In this case you might look for that guy over the shoulder...

    <thinking out loud> Has some "Russian-ness" about it, except for those wheel pants. Then there's the external longitudinal reinforcements reminiscent of a Bloch design. Call me stumped as usual. I'm guessing it was built somewhere around '29 - '32.

  20. #2520
    Don't think it is Russian, or Japanese. Quality of photo and general appearance make me think it is probably an American one-off.

  21. #2521
    DHC2 has the timeframe correct. This is a one-off as far as I know.

    Here she is with cowl rings on and possibly re-engined and given another designation.

    Oh, and not from USA or Russia...

  22. #2522
    Not Japanese either...

    This one is from a small but not obscure outfit. Will reveal tomorrow unless someone figures it out.

    Built by SPCA perhaps? Jeez, where do you dig these moldy things up from??? You're killin' me. LOL

  24. #2524
    Ok, ok.

  25. #2525
    DHC2 was on the right track, this one is the ANF Les Mureaux 120. The cowled version might be the 121 but I have no proof of that.

    Five seater airliner anyone?
