The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[sandar]

My first impression was that is the infamous 'Havant Aclew'


PS, is that a DH Puss Moth or Leopard Moth in the hangar? It certainly has the distinctive DH fin

[sandar]

Joking aside, could it possibly be a 'Whatsit' made by Waldo Waterman?

On further investigation, I don't think it is a Whatsit, but the cabin does look very similar, so perhaps a modified Whatsit?

[Moses03]

It's not a Waterman effort.

[sandar]

OK then, how about a Stout Skycar?

[Moses03]

Yep, thats it. This one is a modified Skycar I.

sandar Over to you Sir. (Lefty was being a bit modest on this one)

[sandar]

Here is a nice looking racer

[Moses03]

A favorite of mystery plane threads. The Latvian VEF I-16.

[sandar]

Moses, Have you hacked my PC, or are you an encyclopedia

Anyway have a
Time for another to the library

[Moses03]

Thanks sandar. Certain planes come up from time to time and the I-16 is one of them. Lefty is the encyclopedia, I'm just the guy who sweeps up at night.

Now for something completely different...

[lefty]

Nothing on this one yet - I started off assuming it naturally was American, but I wonder ?

[Moses03]

It hails from your side of the pond...

[lefty]

Oh dear, I'm having to log in every time now..............

Think I'll surrender here - not too good on the modern stuff - think it might be Russian ?

Anyone else ?

[Moses03]

Not Russian. Did you notice the very small sponsons?

[Hurricane]

I had noticed them, not sure they help too much though!

[lefty]

Sponsons normally means Dornier...........
