The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you Fab4 and Mike

I like twin tail boomers. Sorry for that

**giruXX** · June 11th, 2017, 11:36

The Pocino PJ.1A Toucan perhaps?

**wout** · June 11th, 2017, 11:59

Hi giruXX

Sorry, but answer is only 99,9999% correct. It is the PJ-1, the aircraft in original form. After modifications she became PJ-1A (see photo with PJ-1A on tail). Note the reduced glass area.
Nevertheless, nothwithstanding and despite the missing 0,0001%, please go ahead with the next one

Thank you wout for the update.

I suspected something like this because of the differences in the photos.

My next one should be easy.

***Moses03*** · June 12th, 2017, 05:36

Good Morning gX. Looks like you have a Curtiss 18T.

**giruXX** · June 12th, 2017, 07:37

Yes, I do have it as such. Enjoy a

or two!

(a plane to count on: one engine, two inhabitants, three planes, four blades

)

***Moses03*** · June 12th, 2017, 09:41

Something completely different.

**wout** · June 12th, 2017, 10:42

Hi Kevin

Maybe a member of the Art Chester family (Wimpy, Swee`Pea I or II, Skybaby) ?

***Moses03*** · June 12th, 2017, 11:11

It's the SP I.

Chester lost his life in a later version apparently. Takes a bold pilot to fly these little twitchy numbers!

**wout** · June 12th, 2017, 13:30

Thank you Kevin

. I think Art Chester was indeed killed in Swee`Pear II (also named ARC-Air Race Chester) N4000K in 4/1949

This small staggerwing biplane had a relatively short life. Not shown in photo, but she had a registration (no remkoved by me)

**wout** · June 13th, 2017, 03:32

European country with a fresh President

**giruXX** · June 13th, 2017, 04:58

Thank you wout. Now it's clear.

I thought it came from another country (with a fresh president).

**wout** · June 13th, 2017, 06:15

Sorry giruXX

. Tried to narrow down the search by excluding Asia, Australia, The Americas, Africa etc.

**giruXX** · June 13th, 2017, 10:30

Well, it’s the Drezet-Mirouze 02 “Drezair” (1973), registered F-WTXF after minor changes, and crashed in 1974 due to insufficient power of its Volkswagen 1300 engine.

**wout** · June 13th, 2017, 12:07

Hi giruXX

Correct on all counts

. Your turn, please

**giruXX** · June 13th, 2017, 20:40

Let’s stay with an (elegant) biplane

**giruXX** · June 14th, 2017, 09:19

This one is from the big country with a fresh president.

***Moses03*** · June 14th, 2017, 09:54

Thinking I have seen this I-strut inline job in one of the Juptner books but have no access to those until late tonight.

**giruXX** · June 14th, 2017, 10:22

I doubt that it appears there. It is a one-off and had no ATC.

**fabulousfour** · June 14th, 2017, 12:18

Looks very much like a Gregor GR-1, except for the engine...

**giruXX** · June 14th, 2017, 12:35

Hi Robert,

it IS the Gregor GR-1!!

**fabulousfour** · June 14th, 2017, 13:02

Hi Uli,
thanks, I hadn't really expected this, the engine seems quite a bit different to the pictures I found.
Since I'm off my prepared mysteries until tomorrow I'd like to declare Open House, unless you can wait until then.

**fabulousfour** · June 15th, 2017, 01:46

Nobody?

Ok, take this little floater

**lefty** · June 15th, 2017, 03:16

Looks like a Swedish-built Osprey - but not in Swedish camo ? (or maybe it is....)

**fabulousfour** · June 15th, 2017, 04:12

Nothing more to add, Swedish Osprey is correct

Maybe it's just the reflection of the sun that blurs the camo, in the other picture of the Swedish Osprey in the book from which I took the scan the camo is clearly visible.

Over to you, lefty
