The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Well the French aircraft companies changed their names almost weekly in the 50's, so I suppose it is one of those.....

[wout]

Lefty, I got your point, but sorry, not French.
Three well known manufacturers were involved. One designed the wings and did the flight tests, one supplied the fuselage and one built the aircraft and that company even used two designations. (had to do with a merger).
The subject aircraft flew 1951, but was lost early in the test program.

Must be something from Europe?

Without a picture, my brain won't function properly.

Belated for Wout on the Charger.

[wout]

It is from Europe.
The wing shape was later used on a much bigger (production) aircraft that was built by one of the 3 companies, which all became parts of larger organizations.
V for Victory

[lefty]

Something to do with the Fairey Delta II / BAC-221/Concorde thingy ?

Or the Short S.B5/ English Electric P.1/ BAC Lightning ??

[wout]

Lefty, you are correct with the country.
Some final clues. It had a tail wheel, a jet engine and sort of T-tail.

[lefty]

In that case, we're talking about this one......

[wout]

That is the one!
HP-88 (Handley Page), GA-63/YB-2 (General Aircraft/Blackburn and Model 521 (Supermarine)

[lefty]

Thanks, Wout, got there in the end

This one is a bit obscure.

[Moses03]

Yikes! Looks like a ride over at the fair grounds. This one has a German feel to it...

[lefty]

Younger than it looks, too. (Bit like myself)

[Moses03]

I think you got me. This one must be well off the beaten path.

[lefty]

OK, apologies for this stinker. I have no designation for it - it was designed and built by Richard Scholz in 1933. Let's move on.

Here's a pugnacious chappie.

[lefty]

And while you're puzzling, here's another Duxford shot...(my photographer mate took this..)

[Moses03]

Can't find anything on Mr. Scholz. Judging from his questionable engine in the way design I can see why!
