The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Aero A.104.

[Moses03]

Confident on the Czech parasol so will press on here with a grainy trimotor...

[Moses03]

The brochure for the trimotor boasts of seating for six passengers and or room for mail. From a small firm.

[lefty]

C.N.A. Delta from Italy.

[lefty]

Pretty sure of the CNA, so we'll try this ungainly machine, which started life as a fighter... Any takers ?

[Moses03]

for Mike on the Italian job.

[Moses03]

Thought this was a Spanish effort at first. Next idea was Belgian and sure enough found the ACAZ C.2.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

[lefty]

Good detective work from the Texas Rangers. ACAZ C.2 it is.

Would offer you a but everything here is frozen too !

Global cooling has hit Scotland.

[Moses03]

No kidding on the global cooling. They are saying we will hit a daytime high of 26F with a low of 15F this Thur & Fri.

Up next, a twin transport...

[srgalahad]

hmmm.. the airport background looked like typical run-down central or eastern Europe.. with an interesting design or logo on the hangar that looks like a beer bottle...

[lefty]

Even further east, Rob, I think. A Harbin Y11.

[lefty]

Certain the Harbin is right, unless someone else did a Chinese copy of a Chinese aircraft ! (with thanks to Britten-Norman)

Here is an aggressive fellow from a bit earlier.

[Moses03]

Piece of cake on the Chinese transport for Lefty.

[lefty]

My biplane seems to be sticking a bit - it is European and saw service in at least one conflict.....

[Moses03]

This a Letov S 231?

[lefty]

It is indeed - Spanish Civil War veteran from Czechoslovakia.

[Moses03]

Your clue steered me in the right direction. I thought it was a Brit!

Here is a clumsy looking mystery...

[Ferry_vO]

I had the ACAZ C2 ready and waiting to post if I ever solved a mystery, but it looks quite different in my photo (Cockpit and belly) so I didn't recognise it..

[lefty]

Ferry, this will explain all.........

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/rmichau/AcazC2/AcazC2UK.htm

It was modified for an abortive flight to the Congo.....

[fasm]

ANF les mureaux 180
As I'll travel tomorow here's the next one :

[Moses03]

Spot on fasm!

[lefty]

fasm's wee twin is the Albert A--20 postal monoplane.

[Ferry_vO]

Cute bunny moses!

[lefty]

That's his lunch you're talking about, Ferry......

[Moses03]

Nah, can't eat the little fella. We do have seven pet bunnies though. Kind of a hobby for the Mrs.


How about a new mystery Lefty? fasm might not be around until this evening.
