The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

NAVO Nav-6 from the Netherlands.

Congratulations Moses, it wasn't easy!
For our younger readers (if any) NAVO stands for an ominous Nederlandse Automobiel en Vliegtuig Onderneming,this aircraft being built in 1920 and powered by a Benz engine delivering 220HP.
I do suspect that only one of such
machines were built.
Over to you Sir
Baragouin

Thanks Baragouin. In researching the N.A.V.6, I found this info on it.

Thanks Moses
This is a Latecoere 5 (french of course) of 1924: only one aircraft of this type was built powered by three Lorraine 12Da (370HP each).

And back to Baragouin on the La-tay-co-air.

Thanks Moses
...and what about this non descript flying machine?
Baragouin

[Moses03]

Non-descript indeed. Uncle Sam special?

Hi Moses
not Uncle Sam's but from a neighbouring country.......
This is a big clue but I feel in a festive mood being May 1st a holiday in Europe!

Okay, I don't have my copy of Canadian Aircraft handy but I think this is a Can-Car design built in Mexico called the Barrera EP Ares.

[Moses03]

Putnam's Canadian called it a license built Maple Leaf or "Ares". So I will press on here.

Light twin for you all-

Hello Moses
I don't know if my non descript lady has a canadian ancestry but I have it as Barrera E.P.A. "Ares" of 1941 built in Mexico therefore your assumption is quite correct.
Concerning the light twin you are proposing I have no idea (maybe if you'll be kind enough to exhibit a side view this might be helpful....)
Cheers

[Moses03]

No side view just yet. That would be too easy. Let's see where this one-off twin will go with the one angle for now.

Do my eyes deceive me or are those 3-cylinder radials (with counterclockwise rotation) ?

[Moses03]

Not sure on the rotation but those are 3-cylinder radials.

My eyes are bleeding!
