The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[wout]

Hi Mike
Inddeed the Gold Bug. Attached a photo with tghe single engine.
Have not yet figured out whether it was called Gold Bug because of the paint job or that it got the paint job because of the name.

Your turn, please

[lefty]

Thank you Walter -wonder why someone would go to the bother of installing three engines when one bigger one would be a lot easier !

Here's another trimotor of a different sort - don't think it has appeared here before.......

Good morning boys and girls!
This is the Loring Barron colonial trimotor of 1932....
Cheers

Good morning Carlo - you were quick off the mark today, and absolutely correct about the sadly short-lived Loring. Over to Tuscany -

Wonder if it was short lived because the door looks as if its been stolen from the local undertakers?

Carlo, that is the Goddard Monoplane "El Encanto" that should participate in the Dole race but crashed on take off.

Let's turn to biplanes again.

Over to you.

De Monge 7/5 Chris.

[cthornburg]

You got it I figured it wouldn't last long

Chris

[Moses03]

Thanks Chris.

I would not wait too long on this one. I know a certain Scotsman that will be ready to pounce...

[Moses03]

Derived from a land plane that appeared in this thread a long time ago. Why they thought the giant central float was a nice aerodynamic solution is anybody's guess.

The company is well known.

[lefty]

It looks very Dornier.....

[Moses03]

I won't hold up the show. This is the Farman F.171.

Open house-

[wout]

A nice little sportplane

[wout]

It this helps: built/designed by a trio, flown mid-1960s and one of my engines.

[lefty]

Morning Walter - thanks for the clue !

Would it be the Rublič R-7 Racek (Seagull) ?

Found this - it's a Google Translation so hope it works - http://translate.google.com/translat...menuty-akrobat

Hi Mike
That is her!. Built/designed by Zdenek Rublič, Zdenek Hlavkov and Jarl Tomasov, all members of the Svazarn Aero Club in Brno.
Thank you for the link
Make us sweat!

[lefty]

Don't know about sweating, Walter - my mysteries last about ten minutes on average!

Try this biplane from the Twenties...

[fabulousfour]

Stealth biplane?
I can see only one wing on the Dietrich DP.IX.

[lefty]

Woops ! Robert, my mind was elsewhere (a trip to the dentist....)

You are, of course, almost correct - it's the DP.VIIa, but we won't quibble.
