The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

OK, I think I detect white flags on the ramparts, so will reveal that this is the Mulot AM-20, a neat little Belgian number from 1925.

This will not last long in the shark pool.......

And Monaco...

I doubt you will find a piece of land flat and long enough in Monaco to land a plane on.. Helicopters only!

[lefty]

You don't necessarily need terra firma to land on, Ferry ! (I think they held the first Schneider Trophy in Monaco.)

[DHC2Pilot]

Would probably be safe to assume this one is from France, eh? Looks like a Caudron stepchild.

[lefty]

Not French..

[Moses03]

Racer from the UK?

[lefty]

Not a racer - trialed by the military. The story of its designer, his exploits and subsequent fate would make a good movie. Continental Europe.

[fasm]

Irbitis C6 (bis?) from Latvia

[Moses03]

I think fasm is correct on the C6bis. I found it in my archives (after fasm spotted it) as the Cukurs C6bis.

[lefty]

C6 it was - either Irbitis or Cukurs. Herberts Cukurs' story is quite bizzare, culminating in assassination in Argentina by Mossad !

Over to fasm.

[fasm]

Some nice little plane and a less slick face of the C6bis Cukurs with his 280cv hispano-suiza 6 cyl eng

[lefty]

Fasm, I think your neat little French lady is the Guerchais Roche T.35

[Moses03]

Good show Lefty.

The mysteries are really going off the beaten path of late. Since the Avro it has been; Equator, Citroen, Mulot, Cukurs and now a Guerchais Roche! Sounds like we are touring the wine country instead of spotting aircraft.

[fasm]

Hat off Mr Lefty nice find for this local jewel

[lefty]

I agree with Moses, although Guerchais Roche sounds more to me like something my good lady might dab behind her ears prior to a party !

This has a much more prosaic name and should present no difficulty to all you 30's freaks....
