The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi giruXX
Bingo and the right to post the next challenge!

[giruXX]

Here comes a piece of candy for our floater friend(s)

[Baragouin]

This seems to me like a Ilyushin DB-3PT (if we are to trust russian designations!)
Cheers
BG

[giruXX]

That's fine dear friend. The key word is DB-PT (Popla-vokovyi torpedonosets - Torpedo floatplane)

[Baragouin]

Thanks Giru!
Following is a well known floater but the pic is so nice that I couldn't resist the temptation to edit it!
Here we go
Cheers
BG

There's me trying to stay out of the forum for a wee while, because I'm busy, and you guys keep posting floaters!.......this one is the first version before an engine change...........

[pomme homme]

BG, leaving the word 'Dornier' prominently displayed in the image does make it rather difficult not to suggest that she's a Do. 12A!

You're right pomme-homme rather silly of me (my poor eye-sight is betraying me all the more often! and of course she's a Libelle III with Argus engine)
Your turn of course...
Cheers!
BG

[pomme homme]

Thank you, BG. I'll send you my spare magnifying glass!

As this forum seems presently to have a propensity for wee things, this one might appeal!

[giruXX]

Really wee

[Baragouin]

Thank you, BG. I'll send you my spare magnifying glass!

Noel/Parmentier Wee Mite...I think....

[pomme homme]

Aye, that's the wee thing, BG. I mite have guessed that it wouldn't gang fur lang!

[Baragouin]

Thanks pomme-homme, Hi boys and girls!
Changing subject may I offer you following interwar item:

Cheers
BG

[lefty]

BG, you silenced everyone !

Looks a bit Balkan to me, but haven't been able to match it yet.....

[Baragouin]

Yes rather balkanian (or balkanish I don't know) anyway 25 of them were built from a rather famous manufacturer (a distinctive feature of all its Aircrafts is a triangular shaped tail which unfortunately cannot be appreciated on my pic)...
Cheers
BG

[lefty]

Should have looked more carefully - my pic looks quite different in character - it is the Aero A-211. I hope our Czech friends will excuse me alluding to them as Balkans.......

Yes Lefty she's the Aero 211 and in my clue I wasn't specific enough I should have alluded to a "mitteleuropaeischer landlocked country"...anyway your well deserved turn and sorry for the delay!
Cheers
BG

[lefty]

Thanks BG. This one's from a wee country that is NOT landlocked, nor is it anywhere near the Balkans....

[giruXX]

Could this be the ANBO I single-seat aircraft developed in Lithuania?

[lefty]

Now there's a surprise.......... yes of course it is Lieutenant Gustaitis' little flivver......

[giruXX]

Look, I do have grainy pictures as well.

[wout]

hi giruXX
The Mk.1 Utility with inflatable wing built by M.L.Aviation Co.Ltd for the British Aviation Ministry/Royal Army Air Corps.
Now in the Museum of Army Flying, Middle Wallop?

[giruXX]

Hi Wout

That's her, indeed

[wout]

This novelty appeared 1989/1990 and she was flown! Development was, however, soon halted.

[Moses03]

I hope Uncle Joe put a wheel on the bottom of the cruciform tail before flight testing.
