The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Not a Cirrus. This was not a one-off either.

***Moses03*** · April 29th, 2017, 16:14

Not from an English speaking country.

***Moses03*** · April 30th, 2017, 08:21

Apologies to all. I thought this was a Russian Kalinin design but further checking has revealed it is not that I can tell.

Declaring open board!

**fabulousfour** · April 30th, 2017, 08:44

Interesting!
Though the guys in the photo look somehow German or French I had Kalinin on my radar.
Could you tell us the source of that picture, perhaps that helps identifying the plane?

Here is a new mistery.

**pomme homme** · April 30th, 2017, 10:09

I think that it must be a stealth bomber because I can't see anything below the text of your last post, fab4!

**fabulousfour** · April 30th, 2017, 10:25

Strange, I could see the photo.

I have loaded it up again, better now?

**pomme homme** · April 30th, 2017, 10:53

Yes, indeed. Thank you.

Sorry, I'm not sure where the photo came from.

**pomme homme** · May 2nd, 2017, 04:14

Airspeed AS.30 Queen Wasp

***marijn*** · May 2nd, 2017, 06:15

over to you

**pomme homme** · May 2nd, 2017, 08:07

Thank you, marijn. Here's something a little older.

**giruXX** · May 2nd, 2017, 09:58

A Grahame-White Baby, perhaps?

**pomme homme** · May 2nd, 2017, 10:48

Indeed it is, at Hendon in 1913. Take it away, giruXX!

**giruXX** · May 2nd, 2017, 10:56

I am sure, this one will not cause a problem

**fabulousfour** · May 2nd, 2017, 11:02

That's a Fairchild XBQ-3

**giruXX** · May 2nd, 2017, 11:25

Yes, of course

**fabulousfour** · May 2nd, 2017, 11:26

Thanks, gX

May I post another picture which is even a mystery to me, but where I hope for help identifying it?

Or should I rather post a "normal" mystery?

By all means. I have a few like that myself (including my recent Russian misfire).

Why not have a group effort to identify it?

**fabulousfour** · May 2nd, 2017, 11:48

Thanks, Kevin!
Here we go.

The photo is probably taken in South-West Germany on the old Airport of Böblingen near the French border.
It seems that the aircraft has its engines inside the fuselage with driveshafts to the nacelles. I can see two radiators, so probably two interior engines.
There might be an engine in the nose, but judging the shadows I can't see it.

Due to the neighborhood to France, this might be a French plane but were there any with interior engines?

Over to you
