The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Spot on fasm!

[lefty]

fasm's wee twin is the Albert A--20 postal monoplane.

Cute bunny moses!

[lefty]

That's his lunch you're talking about, Ferry......

[Moses03]

Nah, can't eat the little fella. We do have seven pet bunnies though. Kind of a hobby for the Mrs.


How about a new mystery Lefty? fasm might not be around until this evening.

[lefty]

Only jesting, Kevin ! (Mind you, a father-and-son friends of mine are Scotland's leading bunny breeders/judges. They love rabbit pie !)

It is getting difficult to find anything that will last more than half-an-hour in this forum - let's try this one. For once I have managed to out-grain Moses03........

[Moses03]

I think I have uncovered the grainy mystery. Possibly the Kocherigin-Gurevich TSh-3?

[lefty]

That's the one..

[Moses03]

This bomber was way ahead of its time. Note how modern the fuselage/cabin area looks compared to the rest of the plane.

Sorry about the picture quality. Had to overlay a better photo of the middle section over the rest.

[lefty]

It's a new Texan parlour game.

You take three model kits, you throw all the bits on the floor, then everyone scrabbles for pieces to build an aeroplane...........

Looks like you got the Wright Flyer with a bit of Ju352 and a London taxi thrown in.......

[Moses03]

Neither an Uncle Sam, German or Brit it be...

Keep digging deep and soon you will see...

I must go now as the Sandman has visited me...

[fasm]

For the Albert

[lefty]

I can only assume that Moses' subtle hints about digging deep mean that his mystery is either a Wallangoola Flyer from Oz or the legendary Waikato Wobbler from the North Island. Haven't a clue.

[Moses03]

No joy in Australia or Japan. When in doubt, head East...

[lefty]

Don't recollect seeing it in any of my Polish books - no time to look this morning - back after the curling.

(Waikato is in New Zealand, by the way)
