May I dare to post a mystery floater here which has not been identified yet? You people here are “my last hope”. If nobody finds it I’ll declare open house after 24 hours.

That is the Miller MC-A1 amphibian of 1929.
Have attached another photo.

Over to you

Thanks GX.
Here is a somewhat grainy stylish tourer to consider. (I don't think it has appeared before but my memory sometimes is a little wonky).
The C.N.A. 25 high-wing cabin monoplane, perhaps?

Spot on GX. Have a cold one.
I am extremely happy with yesterday’s fast identification of the Miller MC-A1. As I have about a dozen of still unidentified flying objects in my files, I am asking for further assistance with this one.
I thought it should be easy because of the monowheel. But so far I failed to identify it.

I think it's the Dayton-Wright TA-5, gx

Hi Gruxx
Your mystery aircraft should be the Dayton Wright TA5 with monotrace landing gear
Soon I'll send you a pic
Cheers
BG
Oops! ...too late...
Indeed! That looks convincing.Originally Posted by lefty
Seems that my "mysteries" ain't no longer mysteries. Enyjoy your

Thanks, Gx - there is no real reason why a monowheel installation shouldn't work perfectly well - it just doesn't look right !
Here's something not on one wheel but two floats - a grainy horror* (Moses doesn't hold the monopoly on those......)
* this might indicate that it ain't American.........
?
Maybe an Ikarus Hidrokurir?
Cheers

Hi Mike
The unique Norge Model C (LN-14/LN-BWB) from Norway. She now resides in Norsk Teknisk Museum
Tell that to René Fournier!
As I suspected, Walter snapped this one up. One museum I probably won't get to......
In fact, apart from Luxembourg and Andorra, Norway is the only Western European country I haven't visited. I am ashamed.
Here is another high wing job, but now with skis instead of water shoes.
Sorry for the terrible quality of the picture, but it is the only one I ever saw.
Looks like a Fairchild 24W to me
Sorrt Marijn, not Fairchild and not US.
She is European and the enigne was a Warner Super Scarab.
The Norge A of 1938 (registered LN-FAM), perhaps ??
Here is a photo of LN-FAM with skis: http://digitaltmuseum.no/02101569583...y=LN-FAM&pos=1
There is some agreement with wout’s rare picture but there are also differences.I can’t get any closer now.

hi giruXX
What you need now is only maximum support from your grey matter, the cleverness of Holmes, some deduction/reduction to establish a connection between an earlier post and your Norge A .......and you will have the answer.
If it helps, she first flew 1945 and was lost in an accident in 1953 and was used for a brief period by the airline that helped built her.
I will post a picture later with all registration letters clearly visible.
Well let me cut another poor figure (as I'm getting used to them..) Your mysterious item looks awfully similar to a Honningstad C-5 (with skis rather than floats...)hi giruXX

hi BG
Donot worry about cutting a poor figure. Au contraire. Your way of thinking is brilliant
Same country, same designer, same airline, but two years earlier, less powerful engine than the C.5 and, of course, a different registration.
what about Hønningstad Norge B ?

hi giruXX
Bingo. Here is a picture (the same) without my artistic contributions. Since you guessed right, we all expect that you now open your files and post at least a better picture.
Seriously. This is the only pic I ever saw of LN-HAE. Surfing internet showed no results.
The text below is from by own database.
3-seat sport/utility
one 120hp Warner Super Scarab radial engine
max. speed 124 mph, cruise 112 mph, ceiling 14,000ft, range 465 miles
wingspan 32.25ft; length 21.25ft
DETAILS: The Norge B was developed from the pre-war Norge Model A and like the latter a design of Mr. Birger Honningstad. The aircraft was built by Mr. Aksel Kristiansen with assistance of the Widerøe Flyveselskap og Polarfly Company and was first flown late-1946, after construction had started during the German occupation of Norway. The single Norge B built was lost in an accident in 1953. The aircraft was powered by one 120hp Warner Super Scarab engine and could be operated on skis. For a brief period, the aircraft was leased to the Widerøe airline
Production: 1
Seems a company named Norsk Flyindustri may have been the builder (donow know whether that was a real company or a cover for the designer, buuiklder and Wideroe.
Walter, I never thought that I would come that far in a completely blind guess (i.e., without a pic). Luckily, there was no Norge Z!
In turn I ask you for help with this one (as before, I cannot check if this has already been shown as I don’t have its name yet)
