The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Moses is the expert on these Ekrano-type thingies.....

[Ferry_vO]

I think the propeller is positioned too low for this to be a WIG aircraft..

[lefty]

OK, then, how about a Yak-58 ?

[sandar]

for Lefty, or perhaps a vodka for the Yak 58

[lefty]

Whilst we're in Pusherville (favourite haunt of you-know-who), try this one -

[Moses03]

SECAN SUC.10 Courlis? (Not sure the difference between the 10 & the 11G?)

[lefty]

Never misses a pusher ! 10 it is.

[Moses03]

Keeping with the pusher theme, how about this delicate looking twin?

EDIT: This unassuming plane was the first ever on record to incorporate something...

[sandar]

What was that, a steerable tailwheel? or a variable incidence tailplane?

[Moses03]

What was that, a steerable tailwheel?

No, but you are on the right track.

[Moses03]

Here is the wife of the designer christening the ship...

[lefty]

Don't know this (presumably American) ship - must have been a tougher bird than it looks - most noses would be stove in by a champagne bottle !

Has Burnelli overtones about it but otherwise haven't a clue.

[Moses03]

Rgr on American. Time to reveal the Johnson Twin 60 of 1927. It had differential braking coupled with a tail wheel for the first time suposedly. The Air Corps were said to have made this standard on all future aircraft because of this design.


Once more on the twin pusher layout. Any takers on this futuristic model?

[lefty]

Sexy Polish lady - an EM-11 Orka.

[Moses03]

Spot on!

Over to the Scotsman-

[lefty]

Haven't much time to look out a real poser - but some of you might not be familiar with this one.

[sandar]

Cunnliffe Owen Concordia. Ol' big'ead here doesn't even have to check that one:costumes:

[lefty]

to Sandar for the Concordia (I was right, Moses). I don't know what sort of gnat's piss they serve in the Cricketer's, but it doesn't feature in the Good Pub Guide ! (that's if it's the Milton Keynes one)

C'mon, then, let's have another Buckinghamshire mystery.

PS My local is no better, but there's a real ale pub just over the hill

[sandar]

The Cricketers is a rubbish pub and I don't go there,it just happens to be my nearest pub. I occasionally have a pint when out for a meal, but I don't go drinking for fun. Booze and medication don't mix. The virtual pint is most welcome though.
We stayed just outside Stirling a few years ago (Thornhill I think) and had some wonderful beer and one of the best meals ever in the village pub.

I will have to post an easy one because we are away for the weekend celebrated (if that is the right word) my father in law's 80th birthday.

[sandar]

Forgot to post a picture:redf:

Read your PM's

[sandar]

Read your PM's

Have done and responded.

[Moses03]

Looks like a Swiss Miss from Sandar. FFA P-16.

[sandar]

You hit the Swiss miss Moses, it is a P-16. A jar of the foaming stuff is on its way.

[Moses03]

Thanks for the brew!

Here is an interesting trimotor for you all...
