    Thanks! Took me a bit to sort out that prop issue.

    Today, I'm not feeling all that mysterious or obscure...

    OK, OK.. now that you've had your vicarious pleasure...

    (but how could Lefty's pic lead down a road that ended in the butt-ugly Trilander?)

    Yes, its the Britten-Norman Nymph...

    now, moving onward!

    Russian again. Sorry.

    A Kamov of some sort?

  13. #24738
    Sadly not. I don't want to kill the thread, would you like me to reveal?
    Andy

  14. #24739
    Why not try a clue before going for exposure?

  15. #24740
    Built in the port town town of Kuibyshev (now renamed Samara) in 1971.

    There's not a lot to be found about this little co-axial Russian helicopter. What there is says that it is the Getmantcev or Germanceva helicopter, work on which was started in 1969 with first flight in 1971. It appears to have emerged from obscurity and returned to that!

    You are spot on. I found it some time back while trawling through the Secret Projects forum, it piqued my interest sufficiently toyed with the idea of reproducing it in plastic.

    Thank you, Andy. Without that clue I wouldn't have had a chance of identifying it.

    The mystery depicted below might be more appropriately located closer to Russia whereas it is, as you can see, in the heart of ye olde worlde rural England!

    Well done, Chris. It's an I-12, more precisely YL-ABS, parked outside the Old House at Home public house in Burton, near Chippenham, probably immediately post-WW2. And as you might surmise, there's a story attached to that!

    Didn't show up in search. When I just looked for it on google showed up quite different but I believe same aircraft just modified.

    Chris

    as and aside asking for help. Many years ago I ran across a pix of a "Twin Bonanza" which I thought would be a good subject for here. Since I'm into military aircraft didn't save the pix. It's a single Bonanza with two engines one on top of the other. The pix showed the engines installed but not cowled. Would like to see a finished pix of the plane if completed. It's the Beech model 40. That's all I know. Thanks
