The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Moses!
Where on earth did you find THAT?

[Ferry_vO]

Looks like a Sikosky S-38 damaged in a crash.

[Moses03]

It does look like some kind of ersatz Sikorsky but it isn't. This one is from deep within the Moze archives.

[lefty]

The only other one I can find with a similar configuration is the Yugoslav Mitrovich MMS 3, but this is obviously earlier. Another design by the same chap, perhaps ?

[Moses03]

Not from Eastern Europe.

Pics are hard to come by on this one. This grainy shot reveals that it is a trimotor.

[sandar]

That explains why the propeller attachment looked odd and of balance.

For some reason, my mind kept urging me toward a Blohm and Voss creation, but I can't find anything like this one.

[lefty]

Think I'm going to surrender here too - was going to have a stab at Italian - tailplane shape looks vaguely Savoia-Marchetti-ish, and they did a lot of twin-boom stuff, and there is a lot of photoshopping on it (to remove telltale tail markings?) but the whole thing is altogether too crude.

[Hurricane]

My initial thoughts were along the same lines as everyone else (and I've not got much time for researching this week) so I'll give up too.

[lefty]

I know where Sandar is coming from with B&V, but of course the wretched thing looks like an amphibian, but isn't ! At least, I wouldn't like to be the one to try a take-off with the lower wings underwater!

[Moses03]

This funky one is a French Weymann CTW-66 of 1933. One-off built for Colonial duty. BTW- I did remove markings from the tail.


Keeping the trimotor theme rolling-

Or with that bulge under the nose. It is also a lot later than I thought, I suspected a mid twenties design

[lefty]

Don't think it is, but we'll pitch in with a Corman 3000 ?

(Got to dash off to the curling rink)

[Moses03]

Not a Corman or anything Stinson for that matter.

[Moses03]

Right, time for a hint. This was the last airplane designed and built by this company.

[lefty]

Whitewall tyres - has to be American ! I dunno - Kreutzer?
