The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Naki]

A Fairey Ultra Light helicopter..or Fairey Ult Hc LeB --- looks very similar anyway.

Edit: Whoops way too slow

[Moses03]

James' latest is the Cierva W.11.

[srgalahad]

It is indeed.. and you snuck in about 1 minute before I found it

but if he's pedantic about it, he may want "Cierva-Weir W.11 Air Horse"

as far as I care it's your beverage! I'm just sulking and indulging in self-recrimination because I couldn't find my reference in time

[Moses03]

Didn't know you were lurking Rob. I will take that beverage!

The Cierva is one of the few helos I sort of knew off the top of my head.

Here is another six passenger transport to enjoy over your late night pizza slice or early cup o' joe...

[lefty]

I think this is the prototype Breguet 26T.

[Moses03]

Looks similar but not a Breguet...

[lefty]

OK, it's a Nakajima N.36

(Nakajima held a licence to produce Breguet aeroplanes !)

[Moses03]

They did but the N-36 was not license built. It was "heavily influenced" by Breguet, according to the info I have. It also crashed on a test flight killing all 7 aboard.

Well spotted regardless. Over to the Scotsman.

[lefty]

A wee bit more on the Nakajima - and a new mystery from the same era...

[srgalahad]

Only occasionally lurking and I just had time to catch up... some other project has been getting in the way...

I think I'm going to go look at books for things found around the steppes..

[lefty]

Rob, strumming your balalaika won't provide any inspiration for this one....

[Moses03]

I'm convinced this one is also Japanese but it is not showing up in any of my books. Maybe a Junkers or Dornier export model...

[lefty]

It is not Japanese or German. I'm going to keep you researching for a bit - it is on the net.

[Ferry_vO]

Aero A.42?

[lefty]

You cracked it, Ferry ! (Moses missing an East European Horror - tish tish...) One of the two prototypes of the Aero 42 bomber.
