The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Thanks Chris. This shouldn't take long, just couldn't resist such a grand lady...

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Short Sarafand ?

[lefty]

Yes Jim . At the time, the largest aircraft ever built in Britain.

Ord-Hume also quotes it as second-largest in the world - but what about those German and Russian monsters ????

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Hmmm Do X and Maxim Gorky spring to mind ...

[Sopwith Chameleon]

On a similar ( but smaller ) theme ....

[lefty]

A Russian machine 'inspired by' (i.e. a copy of) the Dornier Wal.
This is the Bartini DAR.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

to Scotland ! - part made in Stainless Steel I believe - over to you Sir ....

[lefty]

Something different again -

[pomme homme]

Phoenix Duet G-AYTT, the side-by-side two seat development of the Luton Minor.

[lefty]

Mike knows his flivvers !

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Mike. Here's a biplane from an earlier period.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

LOD-1 from Latvia ?

[pomme homme]

That's close enough for me, Jim. Over to you. I have it as the LKOD KOD-1. But Baltic aviation is to me what French aviation seems to be to others!

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Thanks ! That's very generous of you - here's a one of a kind that once had a famous pilot ....

[Moses03]

One of my favorite flying boats. Hall XP2H.

[darrenvox]

just a small note, im not playing this game anymore, the aircraft to pick out are too hard...maybe if you go to someting mid 50's/60s ish ill comeback!!

but whilst im here..Sikorsky s-43??

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Moses has it ! - the sole prototype was flown to Hawaii by John Thatch of " weave " fame - over to Texas !

Darren, if I get another chance I'll follow your suggestion

[Moses03]

Thanks Jim.

Grainy sesquiplane up next. Sorry Darren, not from the 1950's or 60's!

[darrenvox]

sopwith tomtit?

[giruXX]

it reminds me of the Laird Baby biplane

[giruXX]

Ayah, I had the feeling I’ve seen it before: I have it as Partridge-Kent Biplane from 1915 in :Canada:

[Moses03]

O Canada indeed.

Suds for Uli.

[giruXX]

Thank you Kevin!

Surprisingly, I couldn’t find this one in our thread. Who will bite (in the absence of Wout)?

[fabulousfour]

Maybe the Hindustan HT-2, Uli?

[giruXX]

yes of course! Take it
