The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'm sure a bit of the famous Deutsche grundlichkeit went into the design, but still.... One

to Scotland!

**lefty** · June 11th, 2013, 07:28

Here's one that may have had a bit of grundlichkeit too.....(but not in Germany..) Rather a pleasing machine.

Hi Mike :salute:
Nice choice! Anyone daring to stick out the naked neck?

**lefty** · June 12th, 2013, 08:01

Time for hints, I think, Walter. (I liked yours, by the way -

) From a West European country, by a designer best known for sailplanes.

***Moses03*** · June 12th, 2013, 19:44

I think the hints are more confusing than the photo! :isadizzy:

**wout** · June 13th, 2013, 01:04

Hi Kevin :salute:
Don`t give up so soon. The prettier examples of this family of birds are claimed to deliver babies and have neck feathers. (and how many German-speaking West European countries are there)

***Ferry_vO*** · June 13th, 2013, 01:15

Found it thanks to the hints: the Markwalder Marabu from Switserland.

**lefty** · June 13th, 2013, 05:10

Indeed, Ferry. I fear you have a vault full of obscure horrors from the Flatlands........

***Ferry_vO*** · June 13th, 2013, 06:05

Not really Mike, I think we've had most of those already.. So as a small hint: This one's neither Dutch nor is it from Belgium:

It might be the Shenyang JJ-1 of 1958 but please don't quote me as I'm very ignorant about early jets!

***Ferry_vO*** · June 13th, 2013, 20:40

Not that ignorant, as you are quite correct on this one!

**Baragouin** · June 14th, 2013, 09:28

Thanks Ferry!
and here's my next offer for tonight:

Cheers
BG

Had I not noticed the partial name on the fin I would have looked at the Breguet line first. I have this same photo labeled as a Amiot 122 BP3.

Hi Moses!
Isn't this a wonderful photo (shot by the way 1933)? Yes it is a Amiot 122.

Your turn now please
Cheers
BG

***Moses03*** · June 15th, 2013, 07:46

Thanks BG. Yes, it is a great photo for the time.

I recently unearthed a cache of rarities. This is one of them-

***Moses03*** · June 16th, 2013, 10:38

Obviously from the USA (those cheap suits and required hats are a giveaway).

A one-off from the early 1930's.

**Dev One** · June 16th, 2013, 12:19

I wonder if it ever saw a drawing board before being made?

***Moses03*** · June 17th, 2013, 04:37

Who knows! The company produced one other design, a low wing monoplane that looked vaguely like a Vultee V-1.

Edit: Here is an ad for the actual engine.

***Moses03*** · June 18th, 2013, 03:44

Okay, this is the Michigan TM-5. They also built the Dallas-Breese X which evolved into the Vultee V-1A (same designer).

"TM-5 1930 = 1pChwM; 120hp Dayton Bear. Engine was in a pod mounted atop the cabin. [8409] c/n 1. Reported scrapped and burned 9/3/30, reg cancelled 9/5/30"

Open board please.

**lefty** · June 18th, 2013, 05:01

Only a single-seater ? That explains why my searches were getting nowhere......

***Moses03*** · June 20th, 2013, 16:07

Didn't mean to scare everybody off!

Here is a rare color mystery from me-

**dan_pub** · June 20th, 2013, 21:09

Hmmm.
On this one, the engines are not distributed on the wings.
Krazy!

**lefty** · June 20th, 2013, 21:57

Ah, an aggy ! Always welcome. This one a twinny, only not really - the hidden extra Lycoming was only for powering the spray system.. The Distributor Wing DWI-1 from Kansas.

I wonder how many of these were built - Moses? Wout ?
