The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[giruXX]

Presumably, the IMAM Ro.63 then?

[Moses03]

Yep, one of six built.

Over to Uli.

[giruXX]

Okay, on with a special floater. Please provide type and registration!

[AndyG43]

That second engine won't be a lot of use.

[lefty]

Uli, I think that is the Latécoère 28-3 Comte de la Vaulx, which crossed the south Atlantic in May 1930. Thank you for bringing that one up !

[AndyG43]

Thanks Lefty, nearly couldn't dodge that bullet.

[giruXX]

Thank you all. The goes to Mike (lefty)

[lefty]

Thanks Uli. Afraid I have nothing very interesting for a mystery - just a rather bland trainer......

[lefty]

1940. From an established company, but prototype only. Named after a type of sparrow.

[lefty]

Southern Hemisphere..

[Sopwith Chameleon]

........ from Argentina ..........

[AndyG43]

Can't dodge it this time.

The (FMA) I.Ae.32 Chingolo.



The rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia Capensis)



All of which prevents me from posting another FMA product I had earmarked for future use.

[lefty]

Just have to dig up something from the vaults, Andy.....

[AndyG43]

Indeed.



What'll that take to solve, 5 minutes?

[pomme homme]

That's a long five minutes, so far!

[AndyG43]

As a wise man once said "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so". Maybe people are looking for their towels?

[pomme homme]

I think that this mystery might be the 1934 Nemeth Parasol and, if so, I would have thought that those on the other side of 'the pond' would have snapped it up by now!

[lefty]

Yes, it's right up our Texan friend's street, but he is taking a back seat these days..might take an obscure twin-boomer to tempt him out ...

[AndyG43]

It is the Nemeth Parasol, a fascinating early excursion into the field of STOL.

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Andy.

I'm afraid that I can't offer an obscure twin boomer, to tempt Kevin from his lair, but here's something that, at least, is obscure. Only three were built and this is the prototype.

[Moses03]

My lair is full of guitars. Not a bad place.

Looks like a nifty Transland AG-2 aggie.

[Josh Patterson]

Indeed.

The Pitcarin AWACS Autogyro?

[Moses03]

Let me think a minute, the radar array doubles as an airfoil? I like it!

[pomme homme]

Yep, made in North America; photographed in South America; apparently now in New Zealand. This is the prototype Transland AG-2 when it was CX-AYC. Suds to Kevin.

So what will be the next aeronautical mystery from Texas. A Gibson Flying V2?

Fender Stratovercaster more likely
