    Looks like something IAR might have come up with.

    Moses03, can understand why you think Romania (colours?).But, much closer
    to home!
    Tip: registration was later used again for next design of the gentleman/company in question (and it is not a homebuilt).

    I think I did it, silence Moses03 and Lefty. I get drunk to-nite !
    Hints: it is USA 1964. After this beauty the designer created a low wing twin
    (8 built) and a low wing twin pusher (still available and at least 3 built to-date) with B787 style windows. Purpose of his aircraft was not per se commercial, but he believed the aircraft were needed.

    Well I found it eventually - the early Evangel prototype.

    Funnily enough, I posted the later model in this forum some time ago,(Nov 2008), but knew nothing about this baby at the time !

    Here is the Evangel 4500. Any resemblance between this and the first prototype is, er, hard to find !

    Why am I not surprised Lefty found it?. :salute:
    It is indeed the Evangel I and the registration N4501L was later re-used on the first (low wing) Evangel 4500. As all designs of Carl A.Mortenson, the Evangel 1 was aimed at mission relief work. In 1996 he wrote me that this aircraft was not performing to satisfaction (too much drag) and thats why the low wing Evangel 4500 was born.

    Lefty, please make life difficult again with the next one !!

    Wout, the chances of me finding anything aeronautical that you haven't seen are about as good as finding a Scotsman without a thirst.........

    Quite sure this will be meat & drink to the maestro, but others may not instantly recognise this exotic....

    But I'll have a stab at an I.Ae 31 Colibri.(rear cockpit doesn't look like any pics I have seen, but everything else fits including the tail livery !)

    the IAe.31 Colibri it is. Reason for the different canopy is because the third example was completed with a transparent rear cockpit section and cut-down rear fuselage.

    There was a good site for Argentinian aircraft which seems to have disappeared.....

    Anyway, this substantial machine is not Argentinian. Or even South American.

    Getting hungry for waffles all of a sudden...

    This is the SABCA S.47.

  17. #2867
    Texas wakes ! Waffles, eh ? Mussels and fries, more like, in Belgium.

    SABCA S.47 it is. Extra to wash down the mussels if you tell me what it was derived from (without looking it up !)

  18. #2868
    Not sure what it was derived from without digging around. Is a big beast though.

    This one will last about 5 min...

    Have seen this one as the Viceroy by McKissick or Price.
    A 6-seat "biz-plane" modified from a Vultee BT-13. Must be nice if you have a big family. The aircraft was offered for sale around 2007, registration N62571, so may still be around

  20. #2870
    McKissick Viceroy it is. The Vultee book says several were made.

    Over to Wout-

  22. #2872
    Ha ! Floaters are lefty country - this one is the Ellison Gweduck, which I think is indeed up-to-date - it has only just flown for the first time.

    I will not deny that you are right!

  24. #2874
    Let's turn the clock back again - here's a lean whippet of a fighter. But which ?

    Questo aero elegante grandina da Italia, a Savoia S.52.
