    Not a real good pic of it, but I've got one of the other end as well. (only ones I could find of the aircraft)

    Ah, Willy, this lady has been here before (a long time ago). She is the Dumod Liner (previously the Infinité II) from the mid 60's.

  4. #2529
    Pretty certain I'm right with the Dumod, so I'll post another, if you don't mind, Willy, as I am out for most of the day....

    This lady had a few party tricks..

    Lefty's clean biplane is the Italian Jona J.6 (It even says so on the plane)

    And a to DHC2 on the SAM-5. Thought that one would last a while!


    Since Lefty will be away, pressing on with this trimotor cabin cruiser.

    Just to confirm, Lefty nailed it. I must admit that I hoped that it's Beech 18 heritage would confuse the issue.

    PZL 27.....if you look REAL hard, you can make out the "27" on the tail. :mixedsmi:
    Gonna keep the board open again.

  8. #2533
    Well spotted, sir. I'll leap in with something different...

    It could be the Jianjiji Jiaolianji-1 by Shenyang (aka JJ-1)

  10. #2535
    JJ-1 it is, Wout

    DHC2, not a Piper, but the manufacturer was BIG

  14. #2539
    Wout, we have a wee rule in this forum that a 'mystery' not only has to have been built, but actually flown... Models, mockups, artist's impressions, CGI's etc are frightfully bad form. You said this was 'never built' ????

    Beechcraft Model 120 and indeed never flown (for some reason the FAA does not allow mock-ups to fly, even when they are full scale)
    This light twin was flown, however

  16. #2541
    That is very interesting, Wout - references I have for the 120 mention a Queen Air flying test bed, but not a mock-up. 3-view in Jane's. The Putnam Beech book gives it barely a mention ! Wonder why they ditched it.

    The wee twin is a Hodek HK-101.

    In the Beech 120 I donot see much of the Queen Air. Maybe Swearingen used it as basis for the Merlin I (never flew), II and III?
    Aircraft manufacturers are just like politicians. They donot like to talk about their failures or show they were wrong.
    And yes, it is the Hodek H-101

  18. #2543
    Its odd - to go to the lengths of making a serious-looking mockup - anyway, here's what the Pelletier book says..

  19. #2544
    And now, for students of 1930's passenger aircraft........

    Lefty, the testbed aircraft Pelletier is referring seems the US Army owned NU-8F (Beech Model 87 and also called Model 65-90T) and this had a Queen Air 80 fuselage, Twin Bonanza wings and two PT6A-6 engines. It was in fact the predecessor of the King Air family.

    Hate to disappoint. Methinks this is the Polikarpov PR-12. One-off mod of the biplane PR-5. Built in 1938.

  22. #2547
    30's student on the ball ! PR-12 it is.......

  23. #2548
    Thanks. Next up, a single engine transport.

    Will be away until late in the day tomorrow. Please press on if you spot it.

  24. #2549
    Hint: Two built from a smallish company. Used to deliver mail.

  25. #2550
    It's a Loire 11. Thanks for the hint - I was wondering about the relative lack of windows..
