Try this.. (Maybe Wout will be sleeping......)

[Dev One]

Obviously very obscure as everyone seems to be quiet!!!
Possibly American fitted with a Menasco engine?

[lefty]

It's (Western) European from a substantial manufacturer.

Paging Wout, come in Wout...

[Dev One]

Hungarian with a Walter Micron up front? Quite a neat looking job - post WWII I should think, but after that I'm lost & upside down in cloud!!!

Caudron C.286?

[lefty]

Time to put this one to bed.

It is one of several models by the SNCAC called 'Chardonneret', in this case the NC.832. (1945 - F-WDVY)

Time to put Lefty to bed too, so OH for you Transatlantic types.

[wout]

a rotorcraft for a change.
I knew it (had) existed, I knew the date of the first flight date and the N-number, but had never seen a photo
Found this in the net yesterday. Not a homebuilt though.

[Ferry_vO]

This the Skyway Engineering Company. Inc. AC-35?

[wout]

Hi Ferry

That it the one (and only). N35133 first flight 17 December 1965.
Like in the original (Pitcairn AC35) the engine was located in lower fuselage behind the cabin with long drive shaft to the prop.

Surprise us Ferry!

[Ferry_vO]

I think the only way to surprise you guys is to actually build an aircraft in my garage and then take a photo... Until then, OH!

[Moses03]

Not from Ferry's garage...

[lefty]

Tachikawa Ki-55. Don't have any record of these being acquired by China so assume this must be a capture ?

[Moses03]

on the Ki-55.

I think you are correct on the capture.

[lefty]

A great big floater..
