The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Okey dokey. The LH rabbit hole was deeper than I thought.


Staying with the low wing monoplane theme.

[AndyG43]

Well that wing planform and those tail surfaces are unmistakeably those of the Westland Wyvern, that looks like an early Eagle engined aircraft. And a quick look at my 4+ Publications book on the Wyvern identifies that as the first prototype, TS371.

[Moses03]

First Wyvern, yes.

[AndyG43]

Still on the low wing monoplanes ......

Fairey P.9/34 K5099

[AndyG43]

Right company, but wrong aircraft.

[cthornburg]

K7555 proto?

Chris

[AndyG43]

It is indeed Fairey P.4/34 K7555.

[cthornburg]

Another design from a designer that has been on this forum before.

Chris

[cthornburg]

From Europe

Is it the Polish EM-11C Orca?

[cthornburg]

That's the one Marganski and Myslowski EM-11C Orka

The baton passes to you.

Chris

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Chris.

Now we had a very interesting debate, not many years ago, that mentioned the aeroplane illustrated below but, as far as I can see, it has not hitherto featured as a challenge here. So over to the few individuals who now seem to be participating in this little piece of innocent fun .....

[pomme homme]

A French machine - and as, quite evidently, it is not powered by a ramjet, it must be the handiwork of the other .....

[cthornburg]

Leduc RL.2

Chris

[pomme homme]

..... and the baton returns to you, Chris (where have all the others gone?)

It is the Léduc RL-2, the second design of the other René Léduc, of the pays nantaise, whose metier was light, rather than jet, aircraft.

[cthornburg]

Nice low wing sport aircraft

Chris

[cthornburg]

USA aircraft

[normb]

WACO low wing trainer?

[cthornburg]

Player CT-6

Open House

Chris

[AndyG43]

Well, I've beaten my way through the tumbleweeds ......

Something a little more up to date.

[Moses03]

I think you have mistakenly posted a photo of the shop vac they use to dry the floors after washing!

[AndyG43]

Damn, I knew I'd do something wrong!

But, no, it is a real aircraft, albeit only ever flown remotely. If it helps any, it is of European origin and dates from the early '70s.

[pomme homme]

It looks like SNECMA may have had a hand in it somewhere.

[AndyG43]

It looks like SNECMA may have had a hand in it somewhere.

A 100% German enterprise.
