The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Zuraw it is - the prototype is still in a museum , I gather. Over to you.

Thanks
and now a funy tiny floater

[lefty]

Hmmm, looks like a balsa-and-tissue job. Even the engine looks like one of my early Frog types.

And there's nothing to show the scale............

[fasm]

It's a small engine, a motorbike brand... so it's rather small

Agreed this one looks French. Thought maybe a Mauboussin or something like that. Not sure.

Kevin, when I said Frog, I was talking about the well-known British manufacturer of model aircraft, engines, etc.

It was not a reference to our distinguished Gallic comrades. Perish the thought....

Your Limey pal, Mike

[Moses03]

Ah, rgr that. The good old days of model building.

As far as the floater, I think it is just too light to get a fix on.

[fasm]

A stout for Mooses
It's a Mauboussin I wonder how did you figured out ???
It's a 34 fitted with an ABC motor...
NOt sure but it looks like a monoplace...

These guys are good; they never cease to amaze me.

I found a picture of a landplane version:

Sure this is not a one-off floater of the P.M.4?

As far as guessing the make, the tail was a good clue. Reminded me of the Mauboussin M.11

I will take my 3.2 pint then.


Up next, a twin-

Sorry, chaps, didn't have time to look up the wee floater - brilliant detective work from Moses. Here she is in all her glory - the holder of three world records for light aircraft - she weighed all of 200kg (440lb !)

Hmmmm.... ultralights now?? have we sunk so low?

[lefty]

Rob, I reckon with you and I aboard, she would never have left the water - that is, if she hadn't sunk aforehand.......

The de Havilland Gipsy Major powered twin has quieted down the thread...
