The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Can't track it down at all, Walter - looks like a modified Volmer, but no joy so far....

Hi Mike
As far as I know no relationship with the VJ-22. The aircraft is the RB-1 by Mr. Richard M. Becker and it was registered as N7991. The RB-1 had two Lycoming O-290 engines and the wings and tail surfaces stemmed from a Stinson 108.
Understrand it last was in the hands of the Walter Soplata Aviation collection in Newbury (Cleveland), Ohio.

This is a sketch I found (hope it works).

Did I mention "Open House Please" ?

[wout]

Open House, Please take your place in the line

Right, we'll chuck in a not-too-difficult one to get things moving again - here's a rather pleasant twin -

[Dev One]

I've been wanting better pictures of that beast as a possible next one to make for FS9......I think its the B A Double Eagle.
If thats the case Mike do you have any more good quality pictures & detail, otherwise I am only able to guess at things & use Flight Global info.

It looks very british....maybe a British Aircraft BA-IV?

Yes Keith, it's the Double Eagle - there are quite a few more pics which I shall scan later today for you.

BG, you were beaten to the punch !

[Dev One]

Thanks Mike, try this one which should equally be simple to identify.

Yes indeed Lefty : I was just typing the message when Keith came out of nowhere....well...c'est la vie!

[lefty]

Keith, your elegant machine is the prototype Parnall Heck 2C ?

[Dev One]

Yes Mike, thats the one! Otherwise known as a Hendy Heck. That could also be on my next to do....
I was at Pendsford the day the last one got sat on by a Spitfire.......
Over to you...


Keith

[lefty]

Here's another slimline specimen.

[Dev One]

No idea initially, but looks as if its an 'OK' registered type?
Keith

[Baragouin]

Thanks for the help Keith. This fellow must be a Zlin Z-XII (12)....or Zlin Z212 (depends which engine is fitted....)
Cheers
BG

[lefty]

I have it as the Z-XII, so over to you, BG

[Dev One]

Amazing, that was a pure guess on my part...it just had that look about it but I couldn't put a name to it at the time....Altzhiemers?????

Thanks Lefty....
Here's a difficult one...at least for me!
Cheers
BG

[lefty]

'Tis the Bristol 118, BG.

[Dev One]

I was looking in the right area, just a bit too far west though!
Keith

[Baragouin]

'Tis the Bristol 118, BG.

Quite right Lefty as usual! I didn't expect less!
Your turn Sir
BG

[lefty]

Don't often go in for the modern stuff - playing into Wout's hands here - but it is an 'interesting' floater -

[Daveroo]

i havent a clue on any of them...but its sure fun to read along and learn..props to you guys in this thread.

[lefty]

C'mon - it's a twin, it's a pusher, it's a twin-boom, and IT'S A FLOATER ! Ticks all the boxes, Moses.......

[Moses03]

Ha! This one is off my radar. No amount of googling "twin boom, pusher, seaplane, float plane, t-tail, composite, gull wing" has uncovered anything.
