The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that hint.

Have at it John-

This should go quickly

Nice of you chaps to let poor old Lefty back in ! (no excuses - was off the ball completely - good one on the Bach, Kevin, and well scouted out, John - interesting that Aerofiles seems to think the banana-bombing conversion was a single-engine job).

Anyway, looked at John's new one and immediately thought 'Brit' ( bland and stodgy). Right enough, it is the Newbury A.P.4 Eon. Sadly, destroyed in a 'pilotless take-off'. Woops.

Here's another wee plane.

Remembers me of the Air Sud Est ASO-1070 Griffon (F-WCDG).

[lefty]

That one met a swift end - please continue, sir.

(Although I think you'll find it was Air Sud Ouest !)

[wout]

of course you are correct. Ouest and not Est. Sometimes I lose my bearings

next one is a light twin

[Moses03]

This the AGO Ao 192 prototype?

[wout]

Hi Kevin, yes the AGO Ao-192V1 (first prototype)

[Moses03]

Right enough, it is the Newbury A.P.4 Eon. Sadly, destroyed in a 'pilotless take-off'. Woops.

Do you have the story on this? Yikes.

I lose my bearings

Might I recommend some relative bearing grease?




Here is part two of the crop sprayer series. (Not bananas this time).

Typical!
In a rush to get towing I suppose.
probably -- Brakes not set, no chocks... duh

But why, oh why did the glider pilot not hit the release

In more modern times this would make untold highlight reels and YouTube

[Moses03]

Figured the mystery would be gone by now with this bunch. It’s not a one-off. Four were built by this smallish company.

Another view. Note the wind generator.

A sharp eye will spot the lineage...

The only thing I'm coming up with here is possibly some link to Arado?
