    Hi Wout!
    I'm glad I revealed your mysterious item (most of which are obscure for me) however in all fairness I must say that a great credit should be granted to Lefty who put down an interesting lead....
    However here's my easy today's offer:

    Cheers

    Now I'm at an advantage here!!!!

    Yes, very easy I'm afraid - if you go to Britsim or Flightsim you can download my FS9/FSX model of the one & only...............

    Miles M13 Hobby.

    Mind you I have not seen that picture before!!!

    I even managed to locate the Wind tunnel report thanks to the Librarian at the FAST museum in Farnborough.

    Hawker Woodcock methinks but not sure of the variant. Looks like a Bristol Jupiter IV so maybe a MkII?

    Moses, Not sure which mark, just known to me as a Hawker Woodcock. Photo obviously taken at Brooklands as had to wipe out the name on the Hangar in background.
    Well done & a slug or two for you
    Keith

    'tis the Woodcock II prototype..

  9. #11834
    Thanks Lefty.

    Gone floatin'....


  10. #11835
    Pretty certain that's a Meridionali Ro.26 in seaplane guise.....

  11. #11836
    Certainly is. Looks a little underpowered if you ask me.
    A pint of grog for the Scotsman.

  12. #11837
    Thanks Kevin. Stroke of luck really - stumbled across a photo of the landplane with the same paint job !

    Moving on - here's a zappy wee number which sadly suffered an early demise - along with its creator......

    Crashed two years before I was born. Shame as it was an interesting design.

  15. #11840
    Obviously Moses has sussed this one out. Anyone else ??

    Tried a fairly simple google for pusher & homebuilt deltas, but no joy, only some Lippish copies. So it looks as if the towel has been offered!

    Over to Texas...... or Holland ???

  18. #11843
    Tis the Dean Delt-Air 250.

    Here is a four engine bomber of the push pull variety...


  19. #11844
    Everyone else snoozing ? This is the Piaggio P.3 bomber from 1923. (that's BG fifth from left...)

    Moses will not mind if I press on, so here's something different - we've had a floating aggie - now here's one for when you fall out with your neighbouring farmer......

    That's the Iomax ArchAngel, conveniently placed in front of their pavilion at the Paris Salon of 2013. I note that it was then being marketed as a 'border patrol' aircraft. Was it rather prescient for the manufacturer to adopt this approach when pitching to a European market? Did it know something that didn't become so obvious to the rest of we Europeans until more recently!

    As to your previous offering, Lefty, I was a tad puzzled by you posting the answer, yesterday, and then taking it down before reposting it today.

  21. #11846
    Thought I had taken it down fairly swiftly, PH - to let BG have a go, as it was in his territory. Don't want to hog the forum!

    Anyway, you're on the ball with the big ugly IOMAX - let's hope it never gets used anywhere..... (how's the cider????)

    It's not a cider week, even though I have six bins of apples awaiting pressing and I haven't yet shaken the trees down. No, this week's wine. I've just picked two bins of grapes, which I'll press later today. That should make six or seven dozen bottles of dry wine wine. But enough of this alcohol (can one get enough?). Here's an interesting little canard. One of the few that don't have anything to do with Burt Rutan!

    Hi P-H
    An example of the ever expanding flock of RJ-03 Ibis homebuilts by father/son team Roger and Jean-Claude Junqua.
    There is also one on the Dutch register

    Hi Moses!
    Your post #11843.
    This is proof of how frustrating some times this thread can be! I have been looking all the time into the Breda's but overlooked completely the Piaggio's...(Yet I have a very nice pic of the Piaggio P3....)besides thanks for pointing out to a pic of mine I didn't know I had!
    Well, Always "Ad Maiora"!
    Cheers
    BG

    Now why am I not surprised, Walter, that the Ibis presented you with such little difficulty! That illustrated is the prototype, still very active in Western France. I last saw it earlier this month. Anyhow it's over to you, sir.
