The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Dang - I was being sneaky, trying to time the post so as to catch out the Pusher Pro

Didn't work, Walter - over to Texas -

Nipped in just ahead of Walter!


A mail/passenger aeroplane...

[Green]

Hi Moses.

Any connection to Halbertadt? The tail looks a little like the C.V.

[Moses03]

No connection to the Halberstadt but you are on the right trail.

[Moses03]

This was a Great War surplus recon aircraft that was put to use in the early 1920's as a mail carrier and airliner. Over 1000 were produced.

[Green]

Maybe from LVG? The CVI?

[Moses03]

Yes and yes. G with the kill.

[Green]

Thanks for the clues Moses. Not much ammo left, but I quickly found this...

[Green]

Some clues then. I think Moses would describe this as "off the beaten path". According to Wiki - only four were built. The main role, according to another source, was military spotting and Forward Air Control.

First flight was in 1989.

Well it looks like the Aussie AA-2 Mamba, but there are significant differences in the fuselage, so maybe this is a later development. Trouble is, I can't find it !

Correction - got it ! It's the AA-2S Mamba, VH-FCX

Very nicely done Lefty!

Thanks, G - here are some much easier machines - a bonus beer if you can tell me which airport , or rather aerodrome !

This is a Potez 29/2 of 1927 (UN-EFG)....

Oh yes! Belgrade Dojno-Polje airport....(not my merit it's on Wiki...)

[lefty]

A direct hit for our friend BG , who must be getting thirsty - - (is it warm in Tuscany yet ??)

[Baragouin]

Thanks Lefty...Yes it is very pleasant weather now in Tuscany not cold any more and not too hot!
And here's my today's mystery (easy) hoisted by a crane....

Dornier Do 22?

[Green]

Or maybe the Dornier C III with the smaller lower wing?

[Baragouin]

Sorry Green you have the correct manufacturer but both replies are wrong.....I'll wait a bit longer and if nobody comes up I'll give the correct reply...
Cheers
BG

[Green]

Well, I'll make one last stab - dispensing with the Roman Numerals (as my source shows it) this time...

C3?

[Baragouin]

Well Mr. Green I think you're right....my source shows it as a Dornier DoC2A (adding that it is basically a DC3 with an extra pair of wings).
This is the link from which I collected the information:"The Flying Boat Forum from www.seawings.co.uk."
Therefore the ball is in your courtyard!

[Green]

Well Mr. Green I think you're right....

Thanks, so do I!

Less ambiguous...

[lefty]

They must be RFB Fantrainers of the Thai Air Force, by the looks of the scenery ! Apparently some of these, delivered as kits, were never assembled.
