The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

**wout** · September 28th, 2015, 10:07

Thank you P-H

Loved to visit the annual RSA meetings and learned a lot about the F-P... aircraft.

This neat little aircraft was at the time described as a powered glider.

Hi Wout !
This is a Botali-Du Riveau PAMA Type 1 of 1934....
Cheers

Hi Baragouin

It sure is. Looking forward to the next brain teaser!

**Baragouin** · September 29th, 2015, 04:28

Thanks Wout!
Let us remain in a known territory.....what about this rather horrible contraption?
Cheers
BG

The Breguet Colibri of 1924.

Thank you, BG. Remaining - as is my wont - in the same country (yes, I know this is obvious from the photograph!) as but many decades apart from the little Breguet, here's a pretty little parasol that, perhaps, looks older than it is.

**wout** · September 30th, 2015, 05:30

Hi P-H

That beauty is the PMB-78 Le Faucon homebuilt by Pierre Milon and members of the Aéro-club de Brive
(PMB-78 for Pierre Milon, Brive, 1978). Used several parts of Stampe/Nord SV-4 and Piper aircraft such as landing gear and tail feathers.
F-PYFO and first flown 19 January 1979(?). 100hp Continental O-200-A engine

**pomme homme** · September 30th, 2015, 06:33

..... and what colour is the pilot's underwear, Walter? But seriously, despite this being the sole PMB-78, I didn't think that it would tax you too hard or for too long. Back to you, sir!

**wout** · September 30th, 2015, 07:18

Thank you P-H

Only one clue for the next challenge. She is not from France!

***Moses03*** · September 30th, 2015, 08:37

Blume BI.503?

**wout** · October 1st, 2015, 00:44

Hi Kevin

I removed the question mark so now your reply reads as Blume Bl-503. It is.
Registration D-EKUB and I understand that this was the original Bl-500 modified to Bl-503 (different engine).

Look forward to your next challenge

***Moses03*** · October 1st, 2015, 05:35

Knew it was a Blume and ran across the same photo.

And now for something completely different...

**lefty** · October 1st, 2015, 06:17

It's that man Weymann again ! The 66 ?

***Moses03*** · October 1st, 2015, 06:41

Haha....busted! That should be it on the Weymanns for awhile. At least until some obscure design surfaces...

Suds for Mike.

**lefty** · October 1st, 2015, 08:53

Thanks Kevin. Yours truly is on yet another purge - 'Sober October'. The weight has to go. Mind you, if Scotland beat the Springboks on Saturday* it might be difficult to adhere to that...... (*it's the Rugby World Cup - not getting much exposure over the Pond, I gather.....)

Here's something nice and conventional -

Good luck with that Mike.

No news on rugby over here. That is one of those "exotic" European sports.

We are heavily invested in getting the Texas Rangers (baseball) into the playoffs. If they can win 2 of 4 vs the Angels this weekend they can wrap up the West Division.

**lefty** · October 1st, 2015, 10:10

It may be an 'exotic European sport' (Australia ? South Africa? Japan? Argentina?) but the USA have a team in there too. Scotland managed to get the better of them.........!

AS for my mystery, the country of origin is not represented in the rugby world......

Your mystery reminds me of a PWS 21bis though I cannot make a real comparison as the pics I have of that polish airliner are horrible....

..... such as the Weymann 'Allez les Bleus', peut-être?

**lefty** · October 1st, 2015, 13:42

I suspect it will be a case of 'Allez les Noirs', PH..........but it's early days yet.

However, in the meantime, BG now has a better photo of the P.W.S. 21bis !

Good spotting, sir.

We have a team? Did not know that. Not completely USA-centric sports fan. I enjoy playing golf quite a bit and like watching Australian rules football. We have a curling club in the area that I keep saying I'm going to join one of these days!

Thanks Lefty and thanks for the nice pic of my (your) polish airliner!
Now here's my next mystery

BG

***Moses03*** · October 2nd, 2015, 09:11

Seen this one before. Have an idea of the country and year now hoping my memory will kick into gear...

***Moses03*** · October 2nd, 2015, 12:47

Got it! it's the McCarthy Air Scout of 1925.

<center>McCarthy

</center>
Air Scout 1925 = 2pChwM; 45hp Anzani; span: 26'0" length: 19'10" load: 460# v: 120/x/40 range: 300; ff: 1/15/25 (p: C D Swinson).
Semi-cantilever wing. In Jan 1926, Swinson flew it from the factory to Grand Rapids, some 18 miles, and even gained 3,000' altitude, in spite of one cylinder that blew off shortly after take-off!
