Koolhoven F.K.34, which didn't end well:

**pomme homme** · April 19th, 2015, 04:01

Oh, those two photographs, Ferry_vO, are crying out for captions, such as.......

(1) I told you that you couldn't make a banked turn whilst you're still on the water!

(2) Now grasp the handle on the cable, wait for the slack to be taken up and for launch to gather pace and up you come on your floats - yes, you're water skiing!

**Baragouin** · April 19th, 2015, 04:54

Quite correct and quite fast Ferry...and yes Pomme-homme I noticed from the beginning ....
that the darn thing wasn't very stable on its floats!
Ferry please go ahead and enjoy your Sunday
Cheers
BG

Not one of Koolhoven's greatest designs for sure! No one asked for it, and none were ever sold.

Hi Ferry VO!
Your mystery Aircraft is a Emsco B8 of 1930 of which, I believe, only one was ever built....
Cheers
BG

***Ferry_vO*** · April 19th, 2015, 09:34

Absolutely correct, BG!

**Baragouin** · April 20th, 2015, 04:22

Thanks Ferry vO!
And here's my next mystery while I apologize for the delay (had a busy morning):

The Argentinian Colibri?

**pomme homme** · April 20th, 2015, 04:46

I'm extrapolating here. The aeroplane is reminiscent of the Miles Magister and the Turkish MKEK-4 Ugur. The latter evolved from the THK-15. The former was manufactured under licence by THK. I've failed to find an image of the THK-15 but wonder whether that's what you've posted, Baragouin?

p.s. having seen Green's post subsequent to typing and posting the above, I think that I'm wrong and he's right.

Thanks BG.

I was never good with paint...

**wout** · April 20th, 2015, 23:25

Hi Mr. Green

Your beauty may be the W.German Kiebitz of 1959. Seen designations Model 501 (by manufacturer Merckle Flugzeugbau) and LF-2 (by designer Prof-Infg. Hermann Winter of LF-1 Zaunkonig fame).
LF-2 apparently stood for Langsamflugzeug 2 (Slow Airplane no.2)
Registration D-EJUG. A second example was not finished.

**Green** · April 21st, 2015, 00:03

Nice summary!

All yours wout.

**wout** · April 21st, 2015, 02:11

Thank you Mr. Green

The other half is on he backside of the photo

**wout** · April 21st, 2015, 07:40

The company`s only type with retractable gear.

**pomme homme** · April 21st, 2015, 10:11

I found myself thinking Gardan Supercab, but that doesn't tally with the photo.

**wout** · April 21st, 2015, 10:37

Hi pomme homme

It is not from France (or Europe). Only one built and that was lostt during tests.

Morning Gents. This is a Focke-Wulf GL 18 airliner.

**Green** · April 22nd, 2015, 12:36

Nicely done Moses.

***Moses03*** · April 22nd, 2015, 17:34
