The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Feel pretty confident on this one, so moving along here In case I am not around in the morning.

Tailess pusher! (Sorry about the pic quality. Best I could scare up.)

[lefty]

That is Koehl and von Loessl's 'Mystery Flying Wing' I think.

[Moses03]

AKA Koehl Ko-1. Right on Mike.

Over to you-

[lefty]

Ta, Kevin.

Now, having sat through the demolition of our hero at Wimbledon, I have to find something 'orrible to post.

But I'm not a vindictive sort of chap, so here's a nice easy sesquiplane..

[Moses03]

All these "not be too difficult" and "nice easy" planes are proving otherwise. I am assuming this one is French but no luck on that front so far.

[lefty]

It isn't French. It isn't even European....

[Moses03]

Trail went cold on this side of the pond as well. Paging Ralf, Ferry, & Co, Wout, Willy, Rob, James...

[Ferry_vO]

Engine and prop make me think its American..

Trail went cold on this side of the pond as well. Paging Ralf, Ferry, & Co, Wout, Willy, Rob, James...

Well at least one of your 'pagees' will know this one, but I'll make it really easy for you. Here she is in full skiing kit.

[Moses03]

Dang Vickers Vigil.

It only took about 4 clues...tall pine trees, snow, non-european, Rob's homeland...

[lefty]

Like getting blood out of a stone........

[Moses03]

Here is something more modern-

[lefty]

Has an East European feel to it - needs a bit of looking up, this one.

Some of you young whippersnappers will have it nailed before then, methinks.

[wout]

Lefty, I'm 66 young too, so am I a whippersnapper then?

I have seen this described as the Wolfsberg-Letov Raven 257, as the Wolfsberg-Evektor Raven 257 and as the Wolfsberg Corvus 1F (the second example). Me thinks that two were built sofar (OK-RAV and OK-WLT) of this Belgian-Czech-British effort.

[Moses03]

I think Wout has it covered. I know it as the Wolfsberg-Evektor Raven 257. For the record the one I posted is the OK-RAV version.

Over to you-
