    The next mystery is definitely not Japanese.
    Hi Robert!
    Could that be a Monocoach Zenith (Alias Lambert Twin Monocoach) with Lambert engines?
    Cheers

    Yes Robert I saw your unusually hot cities on TV...do not despair this isn't going to last long at the most within a couple of days it's going to be all over with the fresh winds coming from the Atlantic…
    I'll do my best to propose a suitable mystery within a couple of hours!
    Cheers

    B.A.T. F.K.26 - but I'm afraid that I can't identify the distinguished gentlemen.

    G'day mate! It's a WARPAINT pullout from Aviation News - February 1993...

    I'm amused by the pic of Mr Koolhoven and his 'distinguished chums'. Not one of them has a suit that fits properly, and just look at the shoes ! Had they not invented polish in those days ?

    Hi Mike!
    Yes I do conceed that these gentlemen are just a bit dilapidated and they probably had to walk a long way to reach the plane in muddy terrain (the wheather in both the Netherlands amd Britain isn't Always exactly forthcoming)…
    All the best to all and sundry
    Cheers

    Thank you, Carlo. Now I doubt that the following will tax many of you for too long .....

  13. #19613
    Yes, Kevin, my surmise was correct. The ball falls into a Texan court ......

  14. #19614
    Right. Another single engine monoplane to consider.


  15. #19615
    Bit of a turkey, that one.......

    Dunno what she's but years ago I remember a couple of similar angular turkeys from Canada…..any connection (unless she's from Aerofiles)…...
    Cheers

    The fact that its wheels are plinthed and there appears to be a plaque in front of it suggests some sort of memorial.

  18. #19618
    Lefty is being a little coy here...

    Not Canadian or USA. Two built for a special occasion.

  19. #19619
    Posted by me way back in 2012 - but the photos have long disappeared.......

  20. #19620
    I do not remember it from 2012 Mike. Why don't you move us along.

  21. #19621
    It was a long time ago, Kevin ! This was a sort of replica built in Turkey in 2001 to recreate a Bleriot XI long-distance flight of 1914 (Istanbul-Damascus-Jerusalem-Cairo-Alexandria)

    They were built by THK - the basic one called AK-01X, and the later two, which actually made the flight, AK-2000X. This one of those.

    Don't have a new mystery yet, so OH, please.

    Back in business again after a short trip to Berlin.

    I think this is the Flywhale from Germany, Uli.

    You think right, Robert.
    Enjoy a glass
