The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Fabulousfour
You are an excellent guesser.
Your turn, please

[fabulousfour]

Thanks wout, here we go.

How about this biplane?

[fabulousfour]

A clue for the night shift in Europe, the people across the pond still wide awake or those Down Under already got up

This is not a homebuilt but from a very well known manufacturer. And it has a rather unique feature.

[fabulousfour]

This plane appeared in Europe in the mid-twenties of the last century and was intended as a trainer.

Hello fabulousfour!
I've seen this bird but now can't locate her! Let me say that the upper wing has a distinctive profile recalling those of some early Focke-Wulf crafts but I suspect I'm barking the wrong tree (also because FW built comparatively few biplanes)
Cheers

Hi Carlo.

You are coming closer but it is not a Focke Wulf.

[pomme homme]

..... it has a rather unique feature.

Considering how low slung is the lower wing, I wonder whether this feature might be to cut the runway grass on take-offs and landings?

[fabulousfour]

It should be a lot sharper for that purpose.

But you are right that the unique feature has to do with the lower wing as clearly can be seen in the following photo.
This is the same type of aircraft except for the suffix!

Considering the decoration around the nose this must have been Erich Hartmann's training plane.

[lefty]

Bah! - it's the Junkers T.26D !

[fabulousfour]

Direct hit!

Over to you, lefty

[lefty]

Thanks, ff. Here's a less than lovely effort -

This is the Koppen Puritan 50...

[lefty]

Indeed, Carlo. The Puritan - an appropriate name for a New England girl.....

I know it's a piece of cake for you gentlemen but I find the pic so beautiful that i couldn't help editing it!

Sorry it's a bit oversized...

[Moses03]

Reminds me of the De Monge M101 but I don't think that is it.

How about an Ansaldo A.C.3 with Bristol engine ? (Looks like a Jupiter)

It could, of course, just be a Dewoitine D.9, but that rather suave pilot looks Italian to me !

Hi Lefty!
You're dead right with your second option i.e. with a Dewoitine D9. This pic was shot in Yugoslavia in 1926 and the engine is indeed a Gnome-Rhône Jupiter (in fact she was called in YU "Dewoitine Jupiter").
Therefore your turn please
Cheers

[lefty]

Thanks Carlo. Time for a nice big floater....

The Sundstedt-Hannevig Sunrise of 1919 and an exceptionally fine photo of it!

https://simanaitissays.com/2016/05/3...nevig-sunrise/

[lefty]

Yes, quite a machine - a shame it all came to nowt....

[Moses03]

Here is a contemporary of the Sunrise...or should that be Sunset?

[Moses03]

First a flying boat, then a landplane and then back to being a flying boat. Two Hall-Scott engines. It led a colorful life before being abandoned on a California beach.

[lefty]

Well this is the Loughead (progenitor of Lockheed) F-1, which sadly ultimately 'fell victim to vandals' - things weren't that different in 1918, it seems.....

[Moses03]

Suds for Mike!

An interesting site here with some rare photos of the ill-fated F-1 transcontinental flight attempt.

Nice find, Kevin...

Sorry for the delay - away in the Big City yesterday - couldn't move for tourists in Edinburgh...

Let's get things moving quickly again with an Aggie with a difference....
