The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Thanks for the ale Sir.

How about this sleek twin? I know you all will enjoy the grainy photography...

[lefty]

Looks French, ergo, it isn't ! Another from the Transylvanian vaults of Vlad the Texan Impaler ?

[& Co.]

This may be a LeO 48.
Kevin's getting wicked: he's posting french planes that LOOK french

[Moses03]

Spot on & Co! Tried to find a better picture but it is a rare bird. Lefty started to sniff it out and then made a u-turn.

This was the last aircraft designed by Liore et Olivier before they merged into SNCASE.

Have at it-

[& Co.]

Thanks Moses03. Rare bird indeed, this is the only pic I've seen.

An easy one, for a change

[lefty]

Now we're back in good ol' Eastern Europe ! A Letov S-50, methinks.

[& Co.]

That was my new year present - a "Lefty Special". Letov S50 indeed.
Still in dry mode ?

Over to you.

[lefty]

Still dry ! (two weeks to go)

How about this flash number ?

[Moses03]

I knew it was German ha! Focke-Wulf Fw 43 or A 43.

Moving along, here is one to enjoy over your coffee and biscuits-

[lefty]

'Tis a Russki. Confusing designations, as ever with Soviet aircraft, but known as a Zavod PS-89 or ZIG-1 ?

[Moses03]

I also have it as a Laville PS-89 or Laville Zig-1!

Right on Mike. Have a Irn Bru

[lefty]

Believe me, I have done Coke, ginger beer, tomato juice, orange juice, tonic water (I hate Irn Bru!) and there is nothing, repeat nothing, to take the place of what we call here a 'wee swallie'.

But I am going to stick it out till my four weeks is up (one more to go) and then maybe pour myself a dram. Whatever happens, our units/week are going to be dramatically and permanently reduced - I am determined to get back into that kilt again......

Back to business - here's a big brute which should not pose too many problems

[Moses03]

The big brute is a Bernard 81 GR. Sorry about the Irn Bru!

Next up, a streamlined float plane for you all-

[& Co.]

Vought XSO2U-1 ?

[Moses03]

Right-o Yann! (I think Lefty was being a bit modest on this one)

Fire at will-
