The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[DHC2Pilot]

I stand corrected!! Goofy french designations are (almost) as bad as the Russkies!

[Dave_Kent]

the next machine

Dave

[lefty]

hmmm, everything about it screams Nieuport except the fuselage......

HA ! Found it - the Schiefer-Robbins RS trainer. They even copied the trademark triple binding tapes !

[Dave_Kent]

That's it!! Back to you.

Dave

[lefty]

Let's see if Wout's still with us........

[srgalahad]

Nifty little thing...

almost nifty enough to be the original Morrisey 1000C

[lefty]

Spot on, Rob ! Nifty is as nifty does....

[srgalahad]

Thanks!

The Morrisey/Shinn/Varga line has always been a favorite. Got to sit in one, almost got a ride, and always thought it would be fun to own.

Now, here's one that seems to feature mother-in-law seating...

[Dave_Kent]

This is the Mann & Grimmer M 1.

Attachment 34508

One Screaming Beaver Oak Aged IPA for you Dave

[Dave_Kent]

another machine to perhaps challenge you

Dave

[Moses03]

The tin Schneider Sch-10M. This one seemed to be ahead of it's time.

[Dave_Kent]

Yes, a nice machine. Over to you.

Dave

[Moses03]

Here is one.

[Hurricane91]

Here is one.

How many?

[lefty]

This is the 4th April, right ????

[Moses03]

Okay, yes I was having some late April fools fun here. It is a fake based on the Boeing At-15.

Here is the real mystery-

[lefty]

You sure that's not a fake too, Kevin ??

That prop is straight off the Lusitania, by the looks of it..........

[srgalahad]

Looks like the 1929 predecessor to the Lockheed/Convair XFV/XFY-1 VTOL projects.

The railway carriage lights used as landing lights are a nice touch!
(making note to find my copy of Spotters' Guide to Croatian Experimental Projects)

[Moses03]

This one Rob?

[lefty]

Rob, the boy's been taking Advanced Photoshop at night school. Heaven help us.......

[lefty]

Is this some sort of high-altitude machine? Odd-looking cockpit, and that weird airscrew must have a purpose....

[Moses03]

Is this some sort of high-altitude machine?

Why yes. Here is the cockpit close up.

[Ferry_vO]

Caproni Ca.161.

51,362 ft for the first version, 56,047 ft for the Bis version, and 44,429 ft for the Idro (Floatplane) version.

[srgalahad]

Actually, I have the 1999 edition Kevin...

The cockpit shot doesn't surprise me. I'd already guessed that it was a high-altitude test a/c from the prop and first pic cockpit glazing, but what....
Has some fuselage resemblance to both the Tachikawa Ki-17 and the Nakajima E4N landplane but it also seems to have extra wingspan added that required the inner N-struts...

doubt I'll get close with this Texas Terror

edit: Hmm Dutch minds are entering the pressure chamber...
