The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Sopwith? Argh, off to the wood shed I go for a whipping.


I remember the whirlybird from before.

[dan_pub]

It looks like a Spanish AISA GN CA-48 autogyro of 1982

[lefty]

That's the one, Dan. Over to you. (Where are you, by the way ??)

[dan_pub]

Thanks, Lefty.
next one, keeping with the autogyro theme:



>Where are you, by the way ?
I am sometimes in Israel, sometimes in France, sometimes in Central Europe. Right now Central Europe.

[lefty]

As it happens, Dan, this little baby lives not very far from here........:mixedsmi:

I've removed the reg so someone else can have a go !

[& Co.]

Hi all! Hope you're all well.

Lefty's mystery is the Air and Space 18A autogyro, G-BVWK

If correct, open house please!

Lefty's mystery is the Air and Space 18A autogyro, G-BVWK

Mine is a Umbaugh 18, which indeed is the forebear of the A&S18A.
The reg is N106U

So, the house is open

[wout]

Nice sporty with retractable gear.

[lefty]

Looks like a Culver but can't find one with that extra window.....

[wout]

Hi Mike :salute:
Not a Culver. But about same time period and certainly same country.

[Tako_Kichi]

Looks a lot like a Globe Swift to me.

[wout]

Hi Larry :salute:
Sorry not a Swift. It was (a prototype) from a well-known manufacturer

[lefty]

It's the Aeronca Arrow.

[wout]

Hi Mike :salute:
Bingo!

The sole Arrow by Aeronca and the company`s only type with retractable gear.

[lefty]

Thanks Walter. Here's an interesting aquatic number.

My bad, dan_pub, I inadvertently overlooked your post.

Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's. My embarrassed apologies indeed...

[Moses03]

LeO H-15? (No photo to check).

[lefty]

No Sir. You are very close, but it is not the H-15, which is shown here...

[lefty]

Here's another photo..or two.

[Moses03]

Now that you have posted the frontal view, I know we have seen this one before. The vitamins are not working!

Thanks for the H-15 photo.

[lefty]

Time to move on - it's the Lioré et Olivier H.6

Moses was close enough - over to Texas - too cold for beer over here !

[Moses03]

Very generous of you Mike. I could use the charity these days though.

Here is an easy one...

[lefty]

Looks like a Photoshopped cross between a Bellanca 77 and the Timm 840 !

[Moses03]

Well, you are half right. It is a civil transport version of the 77. Hard to miss those giant struts!

[lefty]

But what was it called, can't find details anywhere ?
