The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Okay, this is this Canadian McVean V-3 Valkyr. There was also a V-2 biplane.

Open board please.

[Dev One]

Doing a direct google of that aircraft found nothing, so very obscure!

Try this monstrosity - somebody loved it no doubt!

Keith

[Ferry_vO]

That's the Polish LWS-6 Żubr.

[Dev One]

I have it as the PZL 30 Zubr, but it appears that it also has that alternative ident.
Too distinctive I fear!
Your turn Walter...

Keith

[Ferry_vO]

Seems PZL was the designer, while LWS was the manufacturer.

Anyway, next one; should be easy enough:

Hi Ferry
Do you accept Wilson-de Chevigny Explorer 1 (N376DT) ?

[Ferry_vO]

Do you accept Wilson-de Chevigny Explorer 1 (N376DT) ?

See? Told you it was easy!

Apparently the biggest home-built aircraft.

[wout]

The Explorer could carry large items such as canoes, snowscooters, Avid Flyere lightplane and of course could serve as hotelroom .

A nice twin (hope it was not on earlier). Search function gave "no result" for the (name containing letters and numbers)

Hi Walter, this southern girl did show up here within the last year. No worries though as it might be new to others.

Could this be a Rankin EX1?.......I can't remember having seen it already though I could be wrong....

I think my reply is invalid! This was already published on May 7th 2013 #8224 and I was the one who solved the mystery!
I suggest you submit one more item Wout...

Year was 1952 and only the prototype was flown.

[Dev One]

I'm out of ideas where to look as have not yet found it. I think also that BG's idea is not the same kite although very similar, the engines look different.
Keith

[cthornburg]

Not being into civilian aircraft and going from memory. I believe it's from Brazil and call the Cameriz not sure of the spelling.

Chris

[wout]

Hi Chris
Brazil is the right country. Name is somewhat different, Casmuniz 5-2 (also seen as 52).
Invitation for the next challenge is on your desk

[cthornburg]

Nice little cabin monoplane.

Chris

[Dev One]

Looks like a Stinson Detroiter, but which particular type number I have not been able to determine - SM-1?
Keith

[cthornburg]

Not Stinson not european.

Chris

[burcham8]

Is it maybe an early Cessna?

Marc

[cthornburg]

Not Cessna

Chris

[Moses03]

That tailwheel location is a little unusual but I think we are going to need a hint. This is a very common design for the period.

[Dev One]

I threw the towel in a little earlier, but Ickies reboots cancelled it!
Keith

[cthornburg]

You can find in Aerofiles.

Chris

[Moses03]

Hammered Aerofiles from day one. Throwing in the towel as well!

[cthornburg]

I found it somewhere on the web listed as Verville V-151A Air Coach and Aerofiles lists it as 104C Air Coach. Open House

Chris

[Dev One]

Interesting designs by Verville if one Googles him. Did not know he existed.
Try this possibly easier example.
