The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

***Moses03*** · February 22nd, 2019, 04:18

Mike has gone south for the winter with a Muniz M-9.

Forging ahead with a watercraft.

Hi Kevin

Your waterbaby waas made by Thomas Purcell Jr. and his Flight Dynamics Inc. The Flightsail VII (N2035).
I understand she could be towed behind a speedboat when the C90 engine was removed.

***Moses03*** · February 22nd, 2019, 09:17

Of course it is. Suds for Walter.

**wout** · February 22nd, 2019, 10:24

Sticking to the wet element. A floatplane

**giruXX** · February 22nd, 2019, 11:33

A Chinese Shen Hang-1, perhaps?

correction: Feilong-1 from the Shanghai Aircraft Factory

**wout** · February 22nd, 2019, 13:21

Hi giruXX

Sorry, but not from China.
The photo depicts the sole floatplane prototype, but reportedly production of the land-based model was some 40.

***Moses03*** · February 22nd, 2019, 14:33

Maybe the Yak-12GR?

**lefty** · February 22nd, 2019, 21:54

Everything points to the Yak-12 except that rear fuselage profile, which is too deep ?

Could it be the Yak-10G ?

**wout** · February 23rd, 2019, 00:24

Kevin was very close, but Mike nailed it. The sole Yak-10G

**lefty** · February 23rd, 2019, 01:13

Thanks Walter.

Here's a portly machine with an unusual feature -

**Baragouin** · February 23rd, 2019, 02:00

Hello boys and girls!

This is definitely a Junkers J15 (or K15) of 1920...
Cheers
Carlo

**lefty** · February 23rd, 2019, 02:38

That's the one, Carlo - over to you -

A Latvian Martinsyde Buzzard ADC.1?

Yessir that's the one. The latvians called her D-1.

Your move is the next one but pray not a US taildragger….
Cheers

**pomme homme** · February 23rd, 2019, 09:02

Thank you, Carlo.

Here's the next. A tail dragger - yes. US - no. I bet Walter gets this one!

**wout** · February 24th, 2019, 00:45

Hi pomme homme

Thank you for the trust in me, but............

I there some parasol wing in her?

**lefty** · February 24th, 2019, 05:49

It's the washing machine motor that's baffling me....

Parasol ? Maybe - but it could be a bipe*, a tripe or even a gyro ! Or one of those French things that doesn't quite know what it is either.....

(*looks like attachment points aft of the gear leg)

Sorry about not giving you a good game yesterday, Mike. Our 2nd XV just ain't good enough at this level.....

**pomme homme** · February 24th, 2019, 06:55

I won't yet tell you why you should know this one, Walter.

Mike, I'm not sure what motor you've got in your washing machine. All I know is that mine isn't powered by a 65hp Continental - although this biplane is! It is the single seat evolution of a tandem two seat biplane which enjoyed a limited production run in the fifties. I apologise for an image of it only in its wingless state. I don't know another of it not only complete but also with this power plant, as opposed to the radial which powered it originally.

I have to say that I'm glad that les Bleus seemingly have avoided la cuiller en bois - although judging by what my wife tells me of the score so far in this afternoon's match, may I should remember the maxim 'never say never' ..... !

**giruXX** · February 24th, 2019, 07:28

Hey girls and boys, how about an Indraero Aero 101?

**pomme homme** · February 24th, 2019, 07:54

Close, but no cigar!

**fabulousfour** · February 24th, 2019, 09:05

Is this the original bipe before converting to a Continental?

**pomme homme** · February 24th, 2019, 09:29

That's it, the sole Indraéro Aéro 30, F-PPPA, it its original state when it sported a Salmson radial. That photo emanates from https://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contr...dijk/13392.htm, which is why I thought that Walter would get this one. Over to Germany.

**fabulousfour** · February 24th, 2019, 09:34

Thanks, Mike!

I would prefer that Uli does the next mystery, without his guess I wouldn't have found that plane.

**lefty** · February 24th, 2019, 11:20

Considering the only visible bits (fuselage, gear, engine,struts, etc ) have absolutely nothing in common with the original in 1000photos, I think you chaps did exceptionally well !
