    It's those fuselage claddings - remind me of when I played washboard in a skiffle band.......(would explain to you younger whippersnappers, but it would take too long....)

    Here's a neat little sporty number -

    Rather large ailerons on this European runabout...

  3. #12653
    mmm, European, eh ? Methinks Moses knows.....

  4. #12654
    Nah, that was a guess based on the look of the photo. It does look like a couple of Austrian numbers but not having much luck really.

    Thank you Mike. The ailerons gave it away (for me)

    For this challenge I can accept two names/models.
    Sorry the picture does not show the entire aircraft. The second one is a sistership.

    The V-tails are two examples of the Ballentine TJ (c/n 022 and 023) which are in fact (modernized) replicas of the Allied A-2 of 1948.
    The original A-2 (NX3153K) first flew 9 April 1948 with a 145hp Continental C145 engine. A factory fire caused the loss of 2 further prototypes and the project was then abandoned.
    In tghe early-1970s, NX3153K was acquired by Thomas J. Ballentine and since the FAA did not allow operation in original form, the aircraft received new wings, new tail, 210hp Continental IO-360 etc. and became N312TJ in the experimental (51% homebuilt) category. After a long rebuilding period, the aircraft flew again in 1987 and was later donated to the Kansas Aviation Museum a couple of years ago and got its original NX3153K registration back.
    Mr. Ballentine built 2 further examples, N312TJ (second use) c/n 023 and N504WM c/n 022, both described as Allied TJ in the FAA register and both having the Continental
    IO-0360 engine.

    Is it me, or are the mysteries getting tougher of late?

    That said, I have seen Keith's Uncle Sam runabout before. Now if I can jog the memory.

    After that mid-Western frolic, here's a nice floater - which I don't think you'd find in the Panhandle......

    Red herring Mike?

    Methinks a LeO H.13 in Polish guise.

  22. #12672
    The glass is raised, the hand is on the tap, but the beer ain't getting poured until you get the designation spot-on !

  23. #12673
    Okay, how about a H.13E? (This is when we find out it's the B3!).

  24. #12674
    I don't know - standards are slipping in this forum . It's the H-135. (Check it out on Aviafrance -7 exemplaires construits pour la Pologne)

    Anyway, here's the beer - Over to Texas !

  25. #12675
    I have Poland having H-13b and H-135B3 the pix looks more like H-13b the H-135B3 has a raised front turret compared to the H-13b at least in the sources I found.
