The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I don't know about the engine but it is the XN2B-1

Take it away.

Chris

[lefty]

Yes, Chris, the original had a Fairchild-Caminez motor which was troublesome, so they replaced it with a Wright

Here's something with four motors (of British origin) -(the engines, that is.....)

[Sopwith Chameleon]

.......... its a bit of a Late design ......

[Moses03]

What a beast! An early version of the Latecoere 6 methinks.

Nice photo Mike.

[lefty]

Yes. a non-aquatic Laté indeed. over to the USA

[Moses03]

An old favorite of mine under construction.

[pomme homme]

I suspect that is the principal feature of the photo is the Airspeed AS.4 Ferry - because I'm pretty sure that it is the Airspeed AS.1 Tern to be seen hanging from the rafters!

[Moses03]

A double for Mike. Two Airspeeds for the price of one.

[pomme homme]

Apologies for the delay. I'm shuttling, daily, between home and hospital, not as a patient but as a visitor. Anyhow, I've found something that doesn't appear hitherto to have put in an appearance here. That something is .....

[lefty]

Is that Honduran, Mike ? Consolidated PT-11 ?

[pomme homme]

No, Mike. It's from closer to home. A licence built version of something much better known. Re-engined, this example survived until 1958 in a European country that no longer exists.

DAR 9

Chris

[pomme homme]

Chris has it . It's the Bulgarian DAR-9 Siniger, a licence built FW-44, with a Walter Minor engine whilst in post-war service with the Yugoslav Air Force as YU-CEN.

[cthornburg]

A couple I had recently found in my standby list already taken before. Search said this not used yet.


Chris

[pomme homme]

That shouts Fauvel at me. But until I do a little research, I can't say which - if it is a Fauvel - model it is.

[pomme homme]

The Fauvel AV-2?

[cthornburg]

That's it over to you. I figured it wouldn't last long.


Chris

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Chris. This smart little avion de tourisme doesn't seem to have featured here before. So for your delectation, I present .....

[pomme homme]

You might more readily identify this aeroplane with a different tail and undercarriage arrangement.

[cthornburg]

GAL 42 Cygnet

Chris

[pomme homme]

Yes, but being pedantic, at the time the photograph was taken it was the CW Cygnet G-AEMA! However no hairs should be split - so it's back to Chris.

[cthornburg]

Should go quickly
