The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

We need more helo spotters I think!

[Hurricane]

The heli is the 'Gigant', designed by Anton Flettner and built by Grunau.

I've got some more nasty real aircraft but for now I'll give you one with sticky out wings.

[Moses03]

Maybe a Loening M-8?

I had a feeling Flettner was connected to the whirlybird. Just could not find any info on it.

[Hurricane]

for moses.

[Moses03]

Any takers on this nice looking twin airliner?

[wout]

Moses03, I am (almost) certain it is a Savoia-Marchetti, but am not sure on the SM-number
It is time for me to start studying the pre-1945 types.

[wout]

It is the SM-84!
Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I even posted the same photo on 1000aircraftphotos.com

If I am right, I'll have a juicy twin boomer to go next

[Moses03]

A cold one for Wout. Interesting in that there was another Savoia-Marchetti SM.84- the twin tail bomber that was supposed to be an improvement over the SM.79 but was a failed effort for the most part.

Over to you-

[wout]

light twin boom amphib. Some lines may look familiar, but this was an original design.

[Moses03]

Looks like a cross between a Nardi and a Spencer...

[wout]

No comment (for the time being...)

[Moses03]

Ha! It is a Spencer, the S-14 Air Car Junior to be exact.

[wout]

Moses03,
I started saving to buy you a whole bar, a beer is just not enough
BTW, thanks for the nice picture

[Moses03]

Thanks. Okay, this one is a bit of a stinker. A single boom pusher!

[wout]

Moses03, you're mean!
My guess it is the KHai-20 of the Kharkovskii Aviatsionni Institut, a two-seat version of the better known one-man KHai-17.
