Thread: The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

    I gave deep consideration to posting a drone - the difference here is that this one was capable of, and was occasionally, flown by a real live pilot like the one in the pic !
    Pure pilotless drones are off-limits, I fear.

    As for your latest, well, bow ties and huge floppy caps = American, I fear.

    This one looks like a Junkers food mixer.

    I know, I know! The Stout Dragonfly

    <SMALL>Ford-Stout Dragonfly (Brian Baker coll via Avn Heritage)</SMALL>
    <SMALL>Ford-Stout Dragonfly</SMALL>

    -Stout Dragonfly (Stout) 1927 = 2pOmwM*Am; two 32hp Bristol Cherub. Short-coupled canard design with *two tandem wings, one tail-mounted and the other on the nose; triple tails; truss-mounted motors. POP: 1; all-metal corrugated experimental was badly damaged in hitting a bump during high-speed taxi tests and was scrapped.

    James scores a cold one! Well done.

    Over to you-

    Edit: I'm out of town until late Saturday. Internet access will be iffy at best.

    Thanks Moses; a nice cold drink just when I needed it.

    Can I do something a little different? If the answer is no; then I will submit another, and move this picture to a seperate thread. But you guys are something else; I didn't know if I could submit a "stinker" that you could not guess; but at the same time; I thought you could figure this real mystery out.

    A co-worker to a member of the "The Old Hanger" website was given this picture, and asked what it was. So, let's see what you all think; the thing that makes my submittion different this time is that I am not sure what it is.

    Here it goes:



    -Thanks;
    James

    EDIT: I think everyone; including myself, thought the engine on the right belonged to this plane, and that it was a twin engined plane. But, studying it a little more; I think it is another example of the same plane facing the opposite direction; you can barely see the cockpit glass on the right edge of the picture. It must be another fusalage, sitting on a trailer.

    Loire-Nieuport L.N.40?

    Small Canopy and gull wing look very similar. Engine would seem right too assuming both are the same type of aircraft.

    http://www.aviastar.org/air/france/loire_ln-40.php

    Edit: a bit more googling would suggest its a 401 not a 40.

  6. #1281
    Yes, James (the Yorkshire one) has it - a 401.

    Here is one from the same unit - Escadrille AB2.

  7. #1282
    Yes, I noticed in the color picture at the bottom of the link James sent, you can see the angled firewall and the track for the canopy as well.

    I said you guys are awesome, and I am sure the person who shared it will be thank you as well. A for the Yorkshire James. Over to you.

    Typical, I finally win one and I've volunteered myself as driver tonight! (Nevermind, always tomorow)

    This one isn't likely to last too long.

  9. #1284
    Could it be a Hawker Heron, James ??

    Thanks, James.

    Here is a neat little post-war number.

    My points go to the Hodek HK-1 (or HK-101) from the CSSR.

  13. #1288
    Absolutely right. Over to you.

    A teaser. Two examples were built under that name.

  15. #1290
    Well, Wout, you won't be getting any answers from me today - off to take the mother-in-law out to lunch.

    All I can say is that your mystery is a low-wing two-seater with fixed undercarriage and a Continental/Lycoming engine.

    That narrows it down to about 2,000 types. Over to you, Moses03 !

    Dear Lefty,
    I donot know about the other 1,999.
    First Morrisey Nifty, than Shinn 2150, than Varga Kachina 2150/2180 and ending with Montanair 2180 Swift. New tail, new canopy, new cowling. Montanair acquired rights to the Kachina, but only built two 1989-1990
    Await your next one

    I'm back! Seems you missed your chance to sneak a few twin boom pushers through. :

    Wout- We appreciate your interest in the light GA single rarities but it is making the regulars a bit anxious. We try to steer clear of those unless of really unusual design. No worries. The rule goes if no one guesses it you get to keep control of the board with a new one so post away.

  18. #1293
    To try to explain a bit further - it may seem we are knocking you back here but it isn't meant that way.

    Here's an example - four high-wing monoplanes from different countries - three are Taylorcraft clones, which, stripped of markings, are very difficult to pin down - and there are hundreds more like them !

    The other is at least a bit different, and, well, more interesting !

    Got the message. Hope your remark did not insult the designers in India, Argentina and Brazil or Cessna and/or SIAI. I think they will not agree entirely. For me a DC-8 is not a B707 clone, nor is the Trident a B727 clone.
    To break away from the high wing/single engine types, try this one.

    Something like a THK-5 from ?

    Proficiat Ralf, correct
    Looking forward to the next one

  23. #1298
    Ehue, tu quoque, wout!

    Yes, came across that avatar somewhere & thought it might serve as a useful reminder of the first stage of i/d'ing any aircraft...

    Sticking to twin-prop, twin-tailfin Beechcraft clones from obscure corners of the planet:

    Viva Mexico!
    TTS-5 of National Aircraft Factory, built around 1946, with two Ranger L-440-6 engines.
