The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It also flew with the engine in the more conventional position.

I am a wee bit surprised....... Big manufacturer. Not American.

***Moses03*** · July 21st, 2009, 10:31

Something designed by Richard Scholz in 1934 after he was run out of Germany? White flag is waving again. Enjoying the challenges of late though.

Can anyone unseat Lefty's run here?

**& Co.** · July 21st, 2009, 12:07

I'd say a Hispano Suiza engine, the whole plane looks like a Bernard but i wouldn't bet a [LINESTRIKE]hand[/LINESTRIKE] [LINESTRIKE]finger[/LINESTRIKE] nail on it.

Howdy Kevin ? Howdy Lefty ?

**lefty** · July 21st, 2009, 12:32

Hi Yann, nice to see you around. Gentlemen ( and I use the term advisedly), you will be ashamed to find out that this is a Dornier Do10 from 1931, which tested tilted-engine installations, and used Rolls-Royce, BMW and Hispano-Suiza engines ! (So you may well be right, Yann .)

Anyway, hat-trick scored - it's surely time for a floater! :mixedsmi:

***Moses03*** · July 22nd, 2009, 09:18

Howdy Yann. Please don't be a stranger. We need your help!

Shame on us for missing the Dornier. Although I don't feel too bad because no one got the Focke-Wulf GL18 either!:icon_twi:

Thought this one was Italian but now thinking it must be a one-off Frenchy. Having a dry spell here.

**lefty** · July 22nd, 2009, 10:46

Not French, Kevin, so give Aviafrance a rest...

(when did you post the GL18 ?)

***Moses03*** · July 22nd, 2009, 10:50

Rgr on the hint.

Here was one of the posts on the FW:

Back around post 1572 in this thread.

***Moses03*** · July 27th, 2009, 07:46

Okay, let's have it Lefty. This Macchi-ish floater has befuddled enough!

**lefty** · July 27th, 2009, 10:01

The Macchi-like machine is a Chyetverikov ARK-3-2.

We obviously need something a little easier

, so try this one..

I see Ickie's tweaking has knocked out the image uploading again.......

***Moses03*** · July 27th, 2009, 14:53

Boulton Paul P.108 prototype with the Bristol Mercury radial.

Will keep the easy theme going with the gull-winged little fella...

***srgalahad*** · July 27th, 2009, 15:21

well.. after going through Boulton-Paul, Commonwealth, Percival and a host of others.. I give..
It almost looks like a cross-bred combo of the above

Rob

Yeah, OK Moses.. until after I saw your post I couldn't find a pic of the prototype:angryfir:

**DHC2Pilot** · July 27th, 2009, 18:44

Yenchu XP-1

**DHC2Pilot** · July 27th, 2009, 19:14

Is there something wrong with file uploads - I keep getting a "this is not a valid image file" error, and it's happening with every pic I try.?????

**lefty** · July 28th, 2009, 01:36

'Fraid so - I am having to use Photobucket again. With Ickie's health situation in mind, I suspect it will not be fixed for a while, so you'd better try an image-hosting site.

***Moses03*** · July 28th, 2009, 04:45

for DHC2 on the Yenchu. Over to you Sir-

Like Lefty said, we will have to embed photos for now until all the bugs are worked out. File uploading is not working.

***Moses03*** · July 28th, 2009, 13:12

While we wait for DHC2 to resurface, here is one to ponder...

:

**DHC2Pilot** · July 28th, 2009, 14:53

I'm getting the same error while trying to upload from Photobucket. Blargh!! Someone step in for me once this "German" monstrosity has been identified - looks like a movie prop to me - no swastika, thus it's likely too un-PC for the big screen. :mixedsmi:

**DHC2Pilot** · July 28th, 2009, 14:57

Okay.....figured it out. Imbed.....not upload.

***Ferry_vO*** · July 28th, 2009, 15:00

Wasn't that made for one of the Indy movies..?

**DHC2Pilot** · July 28th, 2009, 15:36

Yeah, Indiana Jones and the last crusade. Couldn't remember the name. :mixedsmi:

***Moses03*** · July 28th, 2009, 18:19

The German what-if is from a theme park somewhere. They mocked it up to look vaguely like the one from the movie.

The new mystery is the Paulic XT3-B of 1939.:mixedsmi:

**DHC2Pilot** · July 28th, 2009, 18:25

Jeez, that didn't last long...LOL

Back to you Moses

***Moses03*** · July 28th, 2009, 18:55

Thanks for the brewski.

How about this snooty monoplane?

**lefty** · July 29th, 2009, 12:57

I presume the sticky-out bits on the top are periscopes so the poor sod flying it could see where he was going on the ground.

Looks very French, but can't find this one anywhere. Hints ?
