The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

OK, you got me fair and square. 'Tis a bouncing Czech - the Avia BH-25J

And these must be Rumanian oil thingies, as that's where some of the 25's went.

[Moses03]

Avia it is. Over to the UK-

[lefty]

Thank you, Kevin.

Back to the water -

[Moses03]

I think this is a LeO H.23 but can't find a decent photo to compare.

[lefty]

It's the LeO h23 indeed.

[Moses03]

Thanks Mike. Going to be away for a day or two so open house.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

[lefty]

I'll second that - doesn't matter whether you're Rastafarian, Shinto, Klingon or, like me, a wee heathen - have a great holiday !!

(and we've got Hogmanay to come..........:isadizzy

[& Co.]

Moses03, Lefty,

Nice to see you too. I hope next year will allow me more time on your mysteries

In the meantime, a (belated) Merry Christmas and my best season's greetings to all of you.

Take care.

While we're all out enjoying the blessing of family, friends, and drink, here's a nice floater to ponder. Looks easy enough.....or is it?

[lefty]

Curtiss N-10 ???

[DHC2Pilot]

N-10 it is. I thought the N-10 was a sparsely known one-off, but I should have know if it floats, you have it catalogued away somewhere in your cranium.

[lefty]

Not in the cranium, John, in a book ! I keep harping on, I just happen to be a good detective. It's the Wouts of the world who have it all stored away up there !

Here's one that he will pounce upon immediately.....

[Moses03]

Praga E.55

[lefty]

Yus.

[Moses03]

This one looks like a movie prop...

[lefty]

Think I posted this in a slightly different guise a while back.

You're right, another Thunderbirds special !

[fasm]

Yep a Boeing Skyfox a conversion of the T33.

It's perfect because a came across some nice planes recently like this one :
Attachment 26415
By the way, merry christmas...

[Moses03]

A mug 'o ale to fasm on the Skyfox.

[DHC2Pilot]

Briffaud GB-6 of 1955.

[fasm]

Ahh, flying wing have no secrets here as well
:ernae:

[DHC2Pilot]

Here's a nice floater.....

[lefty]

Here's a nice floater.....

Indeed, a nice millionaire's toy, a sort of flying Veyron of its day.

Harold Vanderbilt's Kirkham Air Yacht from 1925.

OH please....

[Moses03]

Passenger plane for two...

[DHC2Pilot]

on the Vanderbilt, but you already knew that.

[DHC2Pilot]

Koolhoven FK.29. Sorry about the grainy, dark quality of this next one, but it's all I could find.
