The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Agreed, Uli. This is also the only photo I have seen anywhere !

**wout** · September 19th, 2018, 00:50

I think Chris declared OH
This one is fairly new (history starts every day)

***Moses03*** · September 19th, 2018, 06:40

Looks like a Cirrus Sr22 clone.

**pomme homme** · September 19th, 2018, 08:15

What I find more fascinating is that it appears to be on a cobbled runway!

**wout** · September 19th, 2018, 13:22

The cobbled runway could be a taxiway/parking area?
In the in the country of origin cobbled runways maybe pose no problems for some of the largest aircraft built there. (hint-hint)

Hi giruXX

Guess this is your "alias" for the ANG LA-50 Patriot from Ukraine.

Your turn, please!

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2018, 05:58

Let’s stay in more recent history once more:

**fabulousfour** · September 20th, 2018, 06:25

From the opposite side of the world...

That looks very much like an Australian Aircraft Bush Hornet.

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2018, 06:45

that‘s true. From down-under she is and it is an AAK Hornet!
Enjoy a quick sip

**fabulousfour** · September 20th, 2018, 07:57

Going above the equator again and increasing the speed...

**fabulousfour** · September 20th, 2018, 22:22

According to one source this wheel arrangement was done just as a gag to try something different, however proved to be successful in races.

Due to problems with the ground handling a "standard" gear was installed later on.

**giruXX** · September 20th, 2018, 23:45

Congratulations Robert

This is a damned good airplane mystery

**pomme homme** · September 21st, 2018, 00:39

For Britons of a certain age, who enjoyed television in the company with their mater of a lunchtime, do sing along ......

Was it Mike or was it Ike
You can choose which one you like
It's got wheels just like a bike
Was it Mike or was it Ike

..... and Little Weed shouted: 'It was Ike'!

**lefty** · September 21st, 2018, 01:11

He's been on the Calvados again......

I'll answer when I finish watching Howard's End....

**fabulousfour** · September 21st, 2018, 02:37

It was Ike, so it was Mike who gave the answer I like

In fact it is the Howard DGA-4 "Ike" with its experimental tandem wheels. Some sources state that it is a DGA-5, however according to aerofiles this seems to be incorrect since there were 2 DGA-4, "Mike" and "Ike".

Over to Calvados-country, please

**pomme homme** · September 21st, 2018, 03:25

I fear that we might be lapsing into poet's corner - or perhaps doggerel den might be more appropriate! Anyhow, I'm sticking to the same theme for the time being .....

**giruXX** · September 21st, 2018, 06:05

Presumably the Rider R-4 (NX261Y c/n 6) "Schoenfeldt Firecracker"

**pomme homme** · September 21st, 2018, 06:22

That's the beast, Uli. Take it away!

**giruXX** · September 21st, 2018, 08:17

My next: (hoping it's new here)

**wout** · September 21st, 2018, 11:38

HNi giruXX

One of the many post-war Formula One (Goodyear) racers, the Flightways (Fliteways) Special (NX18219) by a team including Ben White.
Flown 1947, lost 1948

**giruXX** · September 21st, 2018, 22:04

you got it wout

**wout** · September 21st, 2018, 23:45

This VW/powered one was the first aircraft designed/built in that country.

**fabulousfour** · September 23rd, 2018, 00:04

That is the Bocono I built by Vicente Zambrano from Venezuela, first flight around 1965 I think.

If correct, Open House please, I'm not at home for the next hours.

**wout** · September 23rd, 2018, 02:23

hi fabulousfour

Correct on all points! Thew aircraft was donated to the Venezuelan Air Force Museum, but there she was considered as "of no interest" and was destroyed at a later stage.
Mr. Z also started construction of a small heli, but that was not finished.

OH as requested by fabulousfour
