The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'll second that. I've scoured all records of Austro-Hungarian carousel aircraft and failed to hit.

I can't see the screen with all these white flags waving in my face.......

She's none other than the Wielemans SW.2 (a product of Belgium).

[DHC2Pilot]

Onward and downward - A prone position twin.

Ahh, an old favourite, the original Ikarus 451, before she transformed into a mini-Meteor jet.

[DHC2Pilot]

7 minutes???? Is THAT the best you can do? I think I'll go bury my head in the sand thank you very much. LOL

[lefty]

Well you just hit us with the Wielemans....you can't win 'em all, dear boy !

Who's this old dame on skis ??

[DHC2Pilot]

IVL C.24 (1924).

[lefty]

Well that was pretty damn quick too !

We await with interest..........

[DHC2Pilot]

A cute little biplane with curiously beefy interplane struts.......

Thinking I saw this in one of the Juptner books. Something American possibly...

[DHC2Pilot]

Not sure about the Juptner book, but yes, she's true Blue.

[Moses03]

Found a couple of Lairds that had similar "I" struts. Thats about it for me.

The designer of this aircraft once worked for a major U.S. manufacturer in the early 30's. He also designed another biplane for the RCAF (a one-off) which competed against the Hurricane and Spitfire as a fighter/dive bomber. Ultimately that design failed due to poor visibility and other problems. That should at the very least point you in the right direction.

Well you had to give it to us, John, a moral victory. It's the Gregor GR-1 Sportplane.
