Correct Moses03, of course. I knew I should have blanked the TAI part as well. On the other hand, you probably recognized the landscape anyway.
The ZIU was started by Turkish Aerospace Industries which was later renamed as Tusas Aerospace Industries. The aircraft had a Canadian 600hp Orenda OE-600 engine. Registration was TC-ZTT.
Over to you
My thought process went like this; Paint scheme looked to be East European. After going through a bunch of ag trucks I studied the pic again and it looked to be a Turkish flag on the tail that you didn't remove completely.Didn't notice the TIA until later.
I think you were a bit generous on this one but won't complain. Hehe.
Here is the next one- a twin boomer. I will be on vacation a couple of days starting tomorrow so if someone gets this one please move along. Taking the family up to Lake Texoma to escape the heat.
Model 48 Charger of General Dynamics. Developed to same spec. as the OV-10 Bronco.
Enjoy yourself at the Lake
Just got back from my wee holiday to find the place deserted. Anybody home ? Wout ??
No photo with this question. (it would give away the answer)
Name the experimental plane that had 4 different designations by the companies involved.
Clue: it appeared in he early-1950s.
Well the French aircraft companies changed their names almost weekly in the 50's, so I suppose it is one of those.....
Lefty, I got your point, but sorry, not French.
Three well known manufacturers were involved. One designed the wings and did the flight tests, one supplied the fuselage and one built the aircraft and that company even used two designations. (had to do with a merger).
The subject aircraft flew 1951, but was lost early in the test program.
Must be something from Europe?
Without a picture, my brain won't function properly.
Belatedfor Wout on the Charger.
It is from Europe.
The wing shape was later used on a much bigger (production) aircraft that was built by one of the 3 companies, which all became parts of larger organizations.
V for Victory
Something to do with the Fairey Delta II / BAC-221/Concorde thingy ?
Or the Short S.B5/ English Electric P.1/ BAC Lightning ??
Lefty, you are correct with the country.
Some final clues. It had a tail wheel, a jet engine and sort of T-tail.:mixedsmi:
In that case, we're talking about this one......
That is the one!:ernae:
HP-88 (Handley Page), GA-63/YB-2 (General Aircraft/Blackburn and Model 521 (Supermarine)
Thanks, Wout, got there in the end
This one is a bit obscure.
Yikes! Looks like a ride over at the fair grounds. This one has a German feel to it...
Younger than it looks, too. (Bit like myself)
I think you got me. This one must be well off the beaten path.
OK, apologies for this stinker. I have no designation for it - it was designed and built by Richard Scholz in 1933. Let's move on.
Here's a pugnacious chappie.
And while you're puzzling, here's another Duxford shot...(my photographer mate took this..)
Can't find anything on Mr. Scholz. Judging from his questionable engine in the way design I can see why!
Convinced the stubby fellow is a Russian but not ruling out some parts of Eastern Europe. Struggling a bit on this one.
BTW- Nice photo lefty. Like the retro touch.
Better rush in before we go offline again - for Brits this has almost become an evening-only site !
Mystery is indeed Russian - not from a major manufacturer - 200 ordered by the VVS but never produced.
well, it's got enough bits for me to say Polikarpov, but even with the Rata similarities ( including the external tanks) I can't pin it down

OK, it's a Nikitin NV-2bis.
Tempted to go for the hat-trick, but, as you know, I'm a decent sort of chap, so here's an easy one.
Who is this stuck-up dame ?
Something French? Never seen this one before. Some kind of STOL experiment or does the whole engine swivel upward for easy access?
