The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

This company is very well known. Just not for aircraft exactly...

[lefty]

Sorry, been a bit out of it this weekend with lots of rugby (Scotland won at last !) curling etc etc.

This would be the EDO Malolo, I think ?

[Moses03]

That would be it Sir. Over to Scotland-

[lefty]

Thank you - what's this ?

[Moses03]

Looks Rohrbachish and a bit Dorniery. Probably some Czech number. Bloimey!

[lefty]

I agree entirely. But it ain't German. Oh, by the way, it's a fighter...........

The Barfallonyew GAG-01 -developed as a low-cost "heavy" fighter lost it's only combat encounter to.... termites..

what's with all the windows in a 'fighter'? did they carry a platoon of infantry with Mausers?

(why DO they allow the inmates to have all these aviation reference books anyway?)

Lefty and Moses are coming up with some real beaut's lately.

[lefty]

Don't want to give this away yet - but it was produced by one of aviation's most famous names.

I like Rob's stab at it - but he was wrong about the termites - this is an all-metal craft !

And his infantry platoon used Lewis guns, not Mausers...........

[Moses03]

I've run out of steam here. Anyone else?

[DHC2Pilot]

My white flag has been wavin' since Lefty posted it...LOL

[lefty]

Well I didn't expect that one to last long at all. It's the Blériot Bl 137 from 1931.

Right - this is another floater - well, sort of.......

[DHC2Pilot]

Frankenstein FR-1. (Looks like a hacked up Bellanca with a homemade Loening style belly pontoon and Curtiss Robin wings.)

[lefty]

You're not far off the mark here....but Dr F. didn't have any input. Made by a company with other aquatic flyers to follow....

[Moses03]

That must be the Columbia CAL-1 Triad. Like the previous EDO, the firm didn't resurface again until WWII.
