The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Moses
I'm pretty sure it is the Caproni Ca405 "Procellaria" built in 1938....
Cheers

PS: since I have no suitable material to submit, if correct, please make it OH!

***Moses03*** · September 11th, 2013, 15:17

That's it BG.

Open board then-

**Dev One** · September 12th, 2013, 05:53

This should be simple?
Keith

**Dev One** · September 12th, 2013, 23:23

Hint - It had TSR in its title!
Keith

**Baragouin** · September 13th, 2013, 01:28

Hi Keith!
Thanks for your substantial clue...it should be a Gloster FS36/TSR38....
Cheers
BG

**Dev One** · September 13th, 2013, 05:27

Correct Sir!

To the Gent. Your turn.
Keith

**Baragouin** · September 13th, 2013, 08:50

Thanks Keith!
Here's promptly my offer (to make up for my previous open board...)
Cheers

Hello, chaps, I'm back from a brief sojourn in the Yorkshire hamlet of Lesser Broadband !

You have all been digging up some interesting stuff - this one perplexes me because of the tail markings, but that could be a red herring - is this a Waco CTO-A ?

**Baragouin** · September 14th, 2013, 02:40

Hi Lefty!
I understand that you are by now out of the Lesser Broadband region and hope that you won't be in there again for quite a while....
Yessir it is a WACO CTO (or 225TW) "Taperwing" .
You're puzzled by the registration number maybe because this Aircraft belongs to the brazilian air force.
Your turn for a chunky offer....
BG

**lefty** · September 14th, 2013, 07:53

Well the only chunky thing here is the sizeable piece of artillery mounted in the bows ! I would love to have seen it being fired in anger....

***Moses03*** · September 14th, 2013, 19:52

Tellier 200?

**lefty** · September 14th, 2013, 22:36

Yes, the Tellier canon 200 it is.

for Moses.

**dan_pub** · September 14th, 2013, 22:55

The full name is Hydravion Tellier 200ch canon de 47mm
200 HP being the power of the engine.
interesting info about it (in French) at http://aeronavale-porteavions.com/vi...hp?f=62&t=2094
It was quite successful and used until 1922

***Moses03*** · September 15th, 2013, 08:10

Thanks for the clarification fellas.

Here is a lovely photo. Not too difficult. Can you name the airport as well?

**wout** · September 15th, 2013, 11:07

Hi Kevin :salute:

I realize that I run the risk of making a complete fool of myself........

Linbergh Field, San Diego and the Convair CV-110 ??

Highly doubtful!

Correct on all accounts.

Over to you Sir-

**Baragouin** · September 15th, 2013, 12:09

Hi Moses!
I ignore what the Aircraft is....but for sure the airport is neither Fiumicino nor Malpensa!
Cheers
BG

**wout** · September 15th, 2013, 12:37

Thanks Kevin, big relief. Gives me courage to continue this ridiculous hobby for at least another 25 years

I think the CV110 was the only CV with those big air inlets under the radials. Convair was located in San Diego and I presumed that the CV110 only operated from her home base, since its only briefly tested.

For the next challenge, the name is sufficient.

**dan_pub** · September 15th, 2013, 21:16

Looks like there's very little progress towards the discovery of her identity...

**wout** · September 17th, 2013, 00:40

Sorry the hints by dan_pub did not help.
This aircraft is usually known as the Progress Aero Discovery, although later efforts were made by FreeBird Aviation to market it as the Xtreme.
AFAIK 2 examples were built by Progress (N81D the prototype and N360F of the photo).

I suggest that dan_pub continues. He clearly identified the girl

**wout** · September 17th, 2013, 00:54

Forgot to mention that (again) later marketing was done by Aero Concepts, LLC and the company showed an example (the third?) at Sun-n-Fun 2005.

Argh. I knew you would say that...

In my files I have it as the Progress Aero Discovery 360 of 1991

Anyway. Me and my big mouth. Lessee if I can get something worthy:

To me this one begs the question: are you so afraid that the windscreen will quit on the wings?

**wout** · September 17th, 2013, 15:19

Hi Dan :salute:
Good challenge, had correspondence with the designer/builder, so will let our friends have a go first.

My hints: From a country not really known for homebuilts. AND this aircraft was used by the designer as Study for a more advanced Study II. AND his first design was never completed AND he completed a third aircraft since.
