The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Transland AG-2.

My late Father attended Texas A & M for a couple of semesters before going off to WWII.

[Okami]

... And here I thought I was making things difficult.

Yup, Transland AG-2, based on the North American T-6G Harvard/Texan (depending on which side of the Puddle you're on). Looks like the T-6 was a very popular cropduster - can't see it's present-day namesake do the same thing, though. ;p

Your turn, Moses. :3

[Moses03]

This one is a bit tricky...

[Ferry_vO]

Farman Goliath of the Československých státních aerolinií (CSA), or (Edit) one of the Avia or Letov licence-built models.

[Moses03]

one of the Avia or Letov licence-built models.

Avia F.60 to be exact. Good show.

[Ferry_vO]

Could only find another photo of the presumably same aircraft from a different angle but no registration to identify it exactly. Do you know what engines are installed? Looks like a W12?

Here a nice grainy photo:

More Goliaths, Ferry....

Oh, and by the way, your floater is a Yokosho Ro-go Ko-gata. With wasabi.

(Without Wasabi!)

Here's a chunky chap (a twin, incidentally - I wouldn't be a cad and cut out another two motors!)

[Hurricane91]

Japanese, but I can't put a finger on it. Not Tachikawa Ki-77 or SS-1. Could not find it flipping through my Japanese referrences unless I skipped a page or two. Good one Lefty.

Hi Mike:salute:
Hurricane91 was on the right trail. The Tachikawa Ki-92 prototype of 1945

[lefty]

That's the one, Walter - here she is in all her glory - quite a good-looking machine, really.

[wout]

Not a homebuilt and the gentlemen are wearing military uniforms.

[Moses03]

Buhwal SX-1 Seohae?

[Hurricane91]

The Tachikawa Ki-92 prototype of 1945

I have never seen this one before an thought I had this period of Japanese aviation covered. Thanks for the education guys.

[wout]

Hi Kevin!, that was fast.Attachment 57349

Second question. Do you have any info on this little boat?

[Moses03]

I don't have any other info Walter, but not for a lack of trying. Yours is the first photo I have seen showing more than just the front.

Moving along with an smallish oddball...

[wout]

Hi Kevin! Nice choice. Not that rare cause I got one in the garage and the other one is still in the box.
I think this is one of the Mignet tandem wing type aircraft built by Mr. John Pontius of Los Altos Ca.
I guess this aircraft was completed 1952/1953 and had an Aeronca 113 engine and somewhat unusual, was possibly one of the first Mignet variations with a tri-gear.
Would you know the registration (N69092 ?)

[wout]

...and the type or Model designation?

[Moses03]

Of course Walter has this one covered!

Designation is unknown. I have attached the unedited photo. Can you make out the reg on the fin?

[lefty]

He doesn't look much like a Pontius pilot.....................

[Moses03]

He doesn't look much like a Pontius pilot.....................

Baddaboom!

[wout]

Kevin, thanks for the Pontius pic with registration. For the moment I put my 2 cents on N69092 and have asked a friend to do some research.
Next one did not reach the production stage, but a sibling did.

[Hurricane91]

Next one did not reach the production stage, but a sibling did.

Wasn't there several siblings? The RFB Sirius 2 motorglider is my guess.
