The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Looks like a Saro at first glance. Not sure at all.

**lefty** · May 4th, 2009, 21:01

Not a Saro. Those are diesel engines, by the way - that should be the key.

**lefty** · May 5th, 2009, 06:52

....and she's all the way from Motown !

:USA-flag:

***Moses03*** · May 5th, 2009, 09:19

I guess the forward raked windscreen should have been a red flag.

***Ferry_vO*** · May 5th, 2009, 11:32

Towle TA-3 Flying Boat?

3/7charlie · May 5th, 2009, 11:34

Hoof. Thats an obscure one. Ford? or Detroit aircraft company or one of is subsidiary's like Eastman or Marine Aircraft? Been a few diesel A/C engines, but I can't think of any US...or any air cooled radial diesels. In fact, the only radial diesel I had ever heard of was a huge russian 56 cyl liquid cooled unit intended for use in an icebreaker.

Er, the engines were by some obscure outfit called Packard, Charlie ! A Towle TA-3 it is.

Over to Ferry

***Ferry_vO*** · May 5th, 2009, 11:49

Here's another nice twin:

Please move on if you are sure about the answer, because I will not be around much the next few days.

***Moses03*** · May 5th, 2009, 13:03

Flexi Rey R-1.

***Ferry_vO*** · May 5th, 2009, 13:13

Yep, the Rey R-1 it is!

Over to texas!

***Moses03*** · May 5th, 2009, 13:27

Thanks for the brewski.

Next up, a medium twin of sorts. I like the spatted tailwheel myself.

**lefty** · May 5th, 2009, 14:18

Ferry must have gone to bed early - he surely would not have missed out on a Fokker !

It is an XO-27 converted to an XB-8 ?

***Moses03*** · May 5th, 2009, 16:11

That's the one.

for Lefty

**lefty** · May 5th, 2009, 21:10

OK, let's get more 'modern'.

I may have posted this before, but then again I posted the Rey a while back (and scored a direct hit with it at the time - we're all getting too good !)

**wout** · May 6th, 2009, 03:51

Douze points for the Breda-Pittoni BP-471.

**lefty** · May 6th, 2009, 04:46

Don't know about the douze points, Wout, all you get here is the booze points.

You got it right, of course.

**wout** · May 6th, 2009, 06:35

Still cannot upload pictures. Gives me time to collect some really difficult ones.
May I declare OPEN HOUSE. Please go ahead
:isadizzy:

**lefty** · May 6th, 2009, 07:34

I'm running dry - here's another for the '30's airliner chappies..

***Moses03*** · May 6th, 2009, 10:04

**lefty** · May 6th, 2009, 13:26

:USA-flag: I wish they all could be California girls.......

That's an American Fokker..

Went to bed early all week, and will be offline for a few days now because I'm moving to a new house tomorrow.
Hope to be back on saturday or Sunday!

***Moses03*** · May 6th, 2009, 15:03

Shows you what I know!

Good luck with your move Ferry.

Lefty- Just google "windows error generator" or some such. There are a few sites that let you make custom messages like that.

**Ralf Roggeveen** · May 6th, 2009, 21:12

Excuse me, chaps; but what is that aeroplane exactly? Can't find it in any of my Fokker books & would like to know!

**lefty** · May 6th, 2009, 23:08

Ferry is referring to the previous mystery, Ralf, the XB-8. I was joshing him for having missed out on a Fokker

The current one is NOT a Fokker. I have given enough hints.

**lefty** · May 8th, 2009, 00:03

Right - on we go. Surprised nobody got the Bach T11-P.

Here's a well-known floater - with a difference.
