The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Atoka is not too far from here. Doubt if I could unearth anything though.

In the meantime, hows about a sporty pusher?

Air Quest Nova 21

But what are the cockpit and tail unit two behind ????

And immediately behind - one of the Nord/Messerschmitt jobs ?

And the four-blader by the hangar door ? F4U-5 ??

Finally - a bit tougher - the port wing with the bulge ??

[Moses03]

The jet looks like a F9F Panther. Not sure on the others.

on the Nova.

[lefty]

You know how I just lurv Piper clones - well here's one, but at least it has a big, extravagant tail to distinguish it.

A bit like Jennifer Lopez.

[Moses03]

It looks French to me so I hammered Aviafrance without any luck. This is where Lefty hints that it is license built in Latvia...

[lefty]

Your first instinct was correct, dear boy..........

[lefty]

Time to move on (I would have done so last night but came up against yet another 'site maintenance' session.)

This one is the Adam RA.15

Here's another of similar vintage - a chunky chappie.

Hi Mike,
the Guerchais-Roche T-39/2 ?

PS: Do you have the registration of the RA-15 (your earlier post)?

[lefty]

for the Guerchais Roche, Walter, although I have it as the T.39 No 01 (F-WCEG)

Here is the Adam....

Hi Mike,
thank you for the RA-15 picture.
On the Guerchais-Roche T-39 you are perfectly right. The T-39/2 version had a less "streamlined" engine installation and a Salmson rather than a Mathis.

Sorry for the blurry picture. Attachment 29327It is all I got.

[lefty]

Hmmmm, looks Third World-y to me.

Is that fixed gear or retractable, Walter ?

[wout]

Mike, not Third World, but the country no longer exist in original form.
This company (organization) produced quite some aircraft, although few types reached production status.
Fixed undercarriage (seems logical with only a 60hp engine).
In the photo is may look larger than it actually was.

[lefty]

Country no longer exists, eh ? Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are the obvious suspects there - could it be a product of the Ljubljana school that churned out lots of designs ??

[Moses03]

Dang, there goes my Formosa theory....

[wout]

Sorry Kevin, but Mike is nearing the solution with Yugoslavia
The producer (I am not sure the organization was commercial, but it was not a flying club or aeronautical university or similar). They liked to give their designs numbers in the 200, 400 and 500 series, although this one also had a (nick) name with a political meaning.
Can`t make it any easier.
