I'm having trouble viewing attached pics - they come and go, and disappear again. Somebody called TinyPic seems to be responsible........

Sorry my friend....but Imageshack wouldn't work so I tried a substitute image hosting device (Tiny pic) which up to now worked beautifully....any suggestion?

Hello Wout

To stick with red, white and blue. Photo was taken in 2011, but the aircraft (only one example was built) already flew in 1981.

[Naki]

Looks to be a converted Bonanza..the nose anyway

[Ferry_vO]

Or a Mentor with a new canopy and tail..

[wout]

Hi Naki :salute:, Hi Ferry :salute:
Correct about the Beechcraft (Bonanza/Debonair) connection, although it is also reported as original design (!?)
The aircraft has the colours of the flag of the country of origin (I donot mean the USA).
The country where it was built is not generally known for its aircraft industry.
The ........ was reportedly aimed at the country`s air force as trainer.

[Naki]

Naki- Feel free to continue on. Wout is having problems logging into the site.

Thanks-

[Naki]

Okay here's an ag aircraft..

[wout]

Hi Naki :salute:
The Murrayair (Emair) MA-1 ?

[Naki]

Correct! Kiwi connection that the prototype was built by Air New Zealand

[wout]

I hope I have remastered the art of posting again.
This is a "first" for me. Explanation will follow later.

[Naki]

Looks Russian or perhaps Romanian from 80s?

[wout]

Hi Naki :salute:
You are correct. The star in the tail is the Romanian AF "roundel"

[Baragouin]

Not an IFIL product by any chance?

[wout]

Hi Baragoiun :salute:

Sorry, not an IFIL design. The model designation is IAR, but I have to admit I donot know myself which...... and thus it is a mystery aircraft for me.
It looks that on the photo the IAR... designation is on the side just below the cockpit, but I have no way of saying for sure what exactly is on the fuselage.
My best guess is IAR-34, but that designation also covers the motor glider initially known as IS-28M2 and this has a tail wheel gear and the slim nose on "120"" seems to indicate a different engine (not the Limbach/VW of the IS-28M-1 (IAR-34). In addition "120" has a tri-gear of a type I have not seen in other IAR designs.
Alternatively it could be IAR-39, but I could not find details on such a design.

Anxiously awaiting the solution, from anybody.
Otherwise may I suggest OH please.

[Naki]

I spent sometime trying to find your mystery aircraft last night....I only came to your conclusion Wout - that it was some sort of IAR-28/34 derivative

[Moses03]

This one won't win any beauty contests...

[Moses03]

First flight in 1933. Powered by a 90hp Pobjoy as best as I can tell.

[Moses03]

Well, this one is a bit obscure. No mention at all in Thompson's Italian book. It is a Nuvoli N.5-RR

Open board please-
