The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Seeing some berets and that stiff upright tail...must be French!

[DHC2Pilot]

Undeniably

[lefty]

It's been nicked from a faiground ride at Disneyland France.........

[& Co.]

Hi all! Hope you're all doing well - how's that sore throat, Lefty?
I don't have time to post much - RL commands - but do visit on a regular basis, and mysteries usually remain mysterious to me. Not this one, though: Kellner Béchereau E1.

100% sure, so OH, please!

[Moses03]

Yann! Good to see you. Thanks for ending John's reign of terror.

Lot of OH these days. Will jump in with a airliner-

[lefty]

Oh lordy, another Aerofiles job.

If all those people just got out of that crate, it must have been pretty cosy in there...... Wonder what the in-flight movie was.... Limelight ????

Is that some kind of oil installation ? Anyway, looks Mid-West, early thirties..

PS Hi Yann, good to see you. Compliments of the season !

[DHC2Pilot]

Belated on the Kellner Béchereau.

[Hurricane91]

If those are electrical generators on the top wing, maybe they were planning to sell excess capacity.

[Moses03]

Lefty fell right into my trap. You can cross USA off your list...

[DHC2Pilot]

Counter clockwise rotation on the engine - narrows down the field a bit. With the stylized tail I'm guessing French, although altogether it almost isn't ugly enough.

[lefty]

OK, you got me fair and square. 'Tis a bouncing Czech - the Avia BH-25J

And these must be Rumanian oil thingies, as that's where some of the 25's went.

[Moses03]

Avia it is. Over to the UK-

[lefty]

Thank you, Kevin.

Back to the water -

[Moses03]

I think this is a LeO H.23 but can't find a decent photo to compare.

[lefty]

It's the LeO h23 indeed.
