The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

Maybe the Standard J-1 with the Sikorsky high-lift wing (aka Sikorsky Standard?)?

[cthornburg]

I'll do the unveil. All I have was the caption Curtiss JN mod to a monoplane. The only other item I have was it was taken probably in the San Diego area.

Open House.

Chris

[giruXX]

One of these, though (from the book Curtiss Aircraft 1907-1947)

[lefty]

As it is Open House, I'll try this one - surprisingly, can't find it on a forum search, so it may be new here. Won't last long, though....

[Baragouin]

This is the Management and Research H70 (also Tuscar H71)
OH please because I will be absent for Whole next week.
Cheers
Carlo

[lefty]

Carlo got the wing so it's over to someone else out there........

[wout]

This one-of is still, around.

[wout]

Appeared 1964. Two famous names in the designation. Lycoming O-235 engine.
Fuselage of one famous name mated to wings of the other and a then tri-gear added. Was restored around 2009 and it still around.

[fabulousfour]

I guess this is the Knepper Crusader, probably the KAC-5 which should be the only Knepper design with a Lycoming O-235.

Could find only pictures of the Knepper KA-1 which is very similar but has no windows behind the doors.

[wout]

Hi fabulousfour
Sorry, not a Knepper. I understand your choice, a lot of similarities. She was completed in 1964.
Named Lesa Bair TC1 (TC1 for Taylorcraft/Cessna 1). Taylorcraft fuselage, Cessna 140 wings.
Built by Robert B. Barker and his brother. Registration N72418

All agree that fabulousfour does the next one?

[lefty]

absolutely....

[fabulousfour]

Ok then...

Here is a neat little parasol.

[fabulousfour]

From Europe, engine is a Siemens.

[fabulousfour]

The parasol is from a country that was a member of the Warsaw Pact in earlier times but is now part of the NATO.
First flight was in the late 1920ies.

[fabulousfour]

Nobody?

The national insignia on aircraft of this country look like a section of a chessboard.

[lefty]

Thanks Robert - I had to thumb through 600+ pages to find it !

It's the D.K.D.4, from of course.

[fabulousfour]

Well done, Mr. Sherlock Holmes

It is the DKD.4 from Poland which first flew in 1928.

Over to you, Mike.

[lefty]

Thank you Robert.
Getting into this forum in the morning (European time) has become very tedious - took me half-an-hour to answer that one !

Let's hope I can post this before I get thrown out again...... an aggie of the compact variety -

[Moses03]

Paging Walter....please report to the mystery thread.

One very small single engine low wing post war ag monoplane at your disposal.

Paging, paging...

[lefty]

West coast USA. Continental motor. In Aerofiles - if you can get in - it has started to behave like Aviafrance !

[wout]

Hi Mike
Have been abusing the grey matter since you posted and concluded that this may possibly be, but not sure, the Treadwell Alley Cat by Walter L?

[lefty]

Don't know why you are unsure, Walter, it is indeed the Alley Cat

[wout]

Thank you Mike. Reason for uncertainty?.......had never seen a b/w picture of her before
Most similar types are nowadays from composites, but this one is still alu tube/alu sheeting. A one-of

[wout]

Circa 1985. Lycoming O-360 engine. Not in aerofiles.

[wout]

This former mystery aircraft is the two-seat Cox TC7 by Thomas Cox. Completed in 1985, registered N723TC. Registration was cancelled 20 November 2014.

Open House, please
