The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Maybe this twin boom pusher will be easier for Mo' ..?

[lefty]

Well I am going to be frightfully rude and dive in here first - it's an Arpin A-1 !

(which oddly enough ended its life about three miles from where I live, in Balado, Fife.)

[Ferry_vO]

For Lefty!

[lefty]

Thank you. Now, we've had helos, we've had E.Europe, we've had a twin-boomer, so it must be time for..............a FLOATER !!

[Moses03]

(Moses missing an East European Horror - tish tish...)

Maybe this twin boom pusher will be easier for Mo'

Dang, tough crowd!


Looks like the chap steadying the floater is wearing a beret. Must be French then.

[lefty]

Oh dear, it is not your day so far, Kevin. This one is not French.

As for the 'beret', I think it is actually what we call here a workin' man's bunnet !

[Moses03]

Nikitin NV-4.

[Moses03]

I will be away most of the day tomorrow so here is the next mystery-

[lefty]

Looks like an American one-off, but nothing found yet....

[Moses03]

Okay, let's move on then. Yup, from the USA. This one is the Brown-Young BY-1 of 1936.

Here is an easier one I think-

[lefty]

I'll nip in before Ferry gets it - a Fokker V.2.

Here's a trickier one.

[Moses03]

Kawanishi 11-Shi / E11K1 methinks.

on the Fokker.

[lefty]

Good one on the Kawanishi, Kevin Over to you.

I'm off for my Sunday night group therapy session in the pub.

So I'll award myself one too

In fact I'll have one of these as well

(Have to drown our sorrows now that the Irish have sold us all down the Swanee ....woops, sorry, no politics in this forum.....)

[Moses03]

Thanks-

Not sure of the state of political affairs over in the UK but I think that is why pubs were invented!

Let's see where this fancy monoplane goes...

[lefty]

This, Kevin, looks like something my dad built for me using Meccano in the 40's.

With that prop, it can't possibly have flown...... (HAS to be French !)
