The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I did a search and couldn't find it on here, but we know that's been compromised a few times.

here's a nice little flying cable-tram gondola

Hate to let a pusher slip past. That is a Siebel Si 201.

[srgalahad]

It is...

[Moses03]

Here is a curious one...

[Hurricane91]

Very interesting Moses. The mystery plane looks similar to the aircraft Douglas Rolfe sketched in Airplanes Of The World. It was identified only as "Schneider, two 500-h.p. Loraine engines."

Attachment 50705

Close as I can get so far.

[Moses03]

Not the Schneider but a good effort anyways.

What puzzles me about the photo is that it looks Japanese at first glance with those markings but is not from Asia.

[Hurricane91]

Yes, despite what appears to be Hinomaru markings, I have never seen anything like it in Japanese references.
But it certainly fits the French multiplaces de combat catagory. But then again, it looks more Russian than French. Grokhovskii perhaps (if only I had a Putnams).

[Moses03]

It certainly does doesn't it?

[lefty]

Don't think Putnams could help here - looks not much like the Grokhovskii G-38 drawings I have found so far....

[Hurricane91]

I was thinking more of a G-37 development that my edition of Gunston might have missed. A shot in the dark.

[Moses03]

You can cross Russia off your list. This one is related more to the Schneider. Two built from a small company.

[lefty]

It's not the dear old S.P.C.A. 30, perchance ?

[Moses03]

Not from S.P.C.A. Early 1930's design that was the last from this company (as far as I know). The designer went on to craft a nifty racer later on.

[lefty]

I'll have one more punt at this one. de Monge 120 ? The racer would be the Bugatti 100P.

[Moses03]

for Lefty. Funny, way back in this thread I posted the Schneider and you guessed the de Monge 120!
