The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

In Moses' absence I can dare to put in another light aircraft - quite a smart one, methinks....

An extra wee nip to chase down your if you can tell me what sort of engine this has !

[Moses03]

on the Tellier. Figured you knew that one.

I like your pointy cruiser. Just waiting for Walter to spot it so we can move on. :d

[DHC2Pilot]

If I'm not mistaken that's a Wickner (Wicko) GM.1 Wizard with a Ford up front

[lefty]

Yessir - A good ol' 85hp V8 ! and a wee Highland Park for my friend from Illinois.

[DHC2Pilot]

Thanks Mike! Here's a cute little bugger I ran across the other day......

[Moses03]

The RWD-11 in the background sure helped! This is the, wait for it..... Zalewski WZ-XII "Kogutek II"

[DHC2Pilot]

A cold one for you Kevin.

[Moses03]

Thanks John.

This one was way ahead of it's time...or so it would seem.

[lefty]

It has a Junkery look to it (minus the corrugations) and I know Junkers played about with pivoting wingtip/ailerons, which presumably these are, but otherwise I'm getting nowhere at the moment. And that ridiculous rudder ....... ????

It has to be a home-made job - those exhaust stubs aren't even in a straight line !

[Moses03]

Not a Junkers design or from Germany although it was first tested with a German engine...

Here is a front view of the oddball.

[Moses03]

The designer was better known (a stretch!) for his design a few years later as part of a competition sponsored in the USA.

[lefty]

Anything to do with Mr Burnelli ???/

[Moses03]

No, but you are on the right track.

[lefty]

OK, is it the early Dare ?

[Moses03]

Yup, the Dare Monoplane of 1921. First powered by a Benz engine and later a Liberty. Over to you-

[lefty]

Thanks - it took a while.. Here's a floater.

[Moses03]

Has a German feel. Probably a Eastern Europe refugee!

[lefty]

Rather depends how you define Europe.........

[lefty]

Bogged down again. It's a Moskalyev SAM-11bis amphibian from 1940.

Here's a dashing fellow. Shame about his chin.

[Ferry_vO]

Belgian?

[fasm]

A Dewoitine D27 III it should be...

[lefty]

Dewoitine D 27-III-R, to be precise, of the Swiss Air Force.

Over to you, sir.

[fasm]

That was easy for a french like me...

Here's a nice floater, wooden wonder...

[Moses03]

This looks like a d'Artois effort. Not sure at all though.

[lefty]

Being of a devious nature, I tried to read the lettering on the hangar, with what looks like a Cyrillic 'N', (i.e. Y.) After a fruitless trawl through the Russian books, had another thought.

Flipped the image mirror-wise, and - lo ! - it's MONO**** that comes up !

Which helps me not in the slightest.:isadizzy:
