    Hi Wout,

    I hope you'll get a new salary in 2018 (or some money for Christmas) as this is not a Sadler Vampire

    Thanks giruXX
    This one was originally planned as a single-seater, but the selection of amore powerful engine resulted in ending up as s-b-s 2-seater.

    Is this another of your Russian jobbies, from the St Petersburg area, Walter?

    Hi friends
    Yes she is Russian, but not from St.Petersburg. My photo caption says "allegaartje""which is, roughly, Dutch for parts of miscellaneous aircraft.
    Not surprisingly, I supplied the engine.

    Looks like the AIST-123M.

    hi fabulousfour
    She IS the Aist-123M. Very nice Columbo work
    This is what got on her: homebuilt aircraft that was built by students of a Volgograd (Moscow) school/club and members of the Aeroclub Aist-M of Myachkovo (Moscow). The Aeroclub had been founded by Messrs. Alexander and Vyacheslav Markalov and the initiative came from their father Mr. Anatoly M. Markalov. The aircraft was at an early stage planned as single-seater with a modified Ural motorcycle engine, but this was soon changed into a side-by-side 2-seatere to make it suitable as trainer for the aeroclub. The AIST-123M used the (modified) wings and tail section of a Zlin Z-326 and reportedly the fuselage was largely based on that of a Zlin Z-142. The one-of-a-kind aircraft was fitted with one 140hp (160hp) Walter/LOM M332 engine and was completed and first flown in 1987 after construction had started some 8 years earlier.

    Looking forward to your next challenge

    Thanks, Walter.

    It's been quite some days since we had a rotorcraft.

    Ahhh, I remember this - posted it a few years ago - also seen without its wings, I think ?

  13. #16463
    Could be possible that you are thinking about the same type, Mike.
    This design flew also as a wingless rotorcraft.

  14. #16464
    This autogyro based on a German patent but was not built in Germany.

    May I declare the mystery as solved herewith?

    Robert, I'm staying out of this - I have a very hectic couple of days being Masterchef, and will be preoccupied with culinary matters (no turkey this Christmas - warm scallop + black pudding + bacon salad, followed by Beef Wellington...)

    Your mystery was ID'd back in 2015 by one of our lapsed regulars, but most of the usual suspects were in attendance.

    Have a lovely Christmas when it comes ! And that applies to all of you !

  18. #16468
    Excuse accepted, Mike.
    A Merry Christmas to you and your friends.

    To accelerate things a bit: First flight was 1931 with an ACE engine, later on the craft had a Jacobs.
    And of course listes in aerofiles but no pic.

    I don't know when I'm back at my PC so I'd like to solve the mystery.

    It is the Winford WRK Gyroplane posted already here by lefty.

    Open house please.


    A Merry Christmas to all of you and may at least some of your wishes come true.

    If not for the fact that it wasn't built, I'd hazard a guess at the Pottier P.30 Pétrel. Walter's offering looks as if it is that from which the tricycle undercarriage version of the Pottier P.130 should have evolved.

    A decidely anorexic lady. She'd better not come round here for lunch........

    Sorry, no connection with any of Jean Pottier`s designs.
    If it helps, that is NOT a DC-3/C-47 in the background.

    No, the spinners and cowls are more in tune with an Li-2 which would move it east-ish.
