The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

G'day Lefty! Tis indeed.

Over to you...

[lefty]

Thanks G - sticking to the water (and I rarely do....) here's a nice easy sporty-looking number.

[Green]

Hi Lefty, lock me in for the Sopwith Schneider.

[lefty]

Will do, G (think the others must be on vacation.....)

If I were the Sopwith pilot, I would be a tad worried about those floats - they look as though they would 'dig in' at the slightest provocation !

[Green]

Thanks Lefty.

Another biplane...

[lefty]

Hmmm, looks like one of those smooth Nieuport jobs but the struts are wrong.....

Hi Lefty.

Not from France mate. This is a German fighter - and I only picked it cause it's name has something in common with your floater above.

[lefty]

AH ! So I wasn't so far from the mark with my Nieuport suggestion ???

[Green]

Well ya learn new things every day!
Sorry mate, my source mentioned nothing about the Nieuport connection. Apologies.

But well done Lefty, the Franz Schneider fighter it is.

(Your up awful late for a Scot?)

[lefty]

Not so much up late, as up early, G ! The Boss was curling last night and she brought back a lovely Chinese 'carry-oot' as we call it. Seemed like a good idea at the time........at least it wasn't a curry !

Anyway, enough of my digestive problems - here's an old favourite -

[Green]

That's OK then, better that than insomnia.

Looks like the Italian Agusta AZ.8L?

[lefty]

That's the one - a piston-engined machine which unsurprisingly didn't make it, appearing at the same time as the 707 !

[Green]

Thanks Lefty.

unsurprisingly didn't make it

"We're doomed" as you say over there - well, according to Dad's Army.

Jet powered and better looking, but just as unsuccessful I think...

Procaer F.400 Cobra. Italian one-off from 1960.

[Dev One]

If thats the case, I was miles off - I was thinking South America......

[Green]

The Cobra it is Moses.

[Moses03]

Thanks Green. And now a rare color mystery from me...

[Green]

Is there a Beech 18 in there somewhere?
Maybe the Dumod Dumodliner?

[Dev One]

The Cobra it is Moses.

Another failure by Wiki...that aircraft is not listed as having the Marbore installed! Oh well, It looks as if I must find another source of info....
Keith

[lefty]

French is obviously no problem......

The Wiki article I found mentions it. But something I didn't know - it was basically of wooden construction (thanks Lefty).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procaer_Cobra

And thanks Moses.

Moving on...

[Dev One]

Thanks for the link Green, I was thought referring to the Turbomeca listing in Wiki. Engine listing is where I tend to go if I have a suspicion of knowing the engine fitted in order to find an aircraft....tenuous & convoluted.....thats me though. Now off to see if I can find your next poser.

This could be anything....I was thinking about the Bristol Type 146 but alas....the Landing gear doesn't fit!
Cheers
