The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Getting hungry for waffles all of a sudden...

This is the SABCA S.47.

[lefty]

Texas wakes ! Waffles, eh ? Mussels and fries, more like, in Belgium.

SABCA S.47 it is. Extra to wash down the mussels if you tell me what it was derived from (without looking it up !)

[Moses03]

Not sure what it was derived from without digging around. Is a big beast though.

This one will last about 5 min...

[wout]

Have seen this one as the Viceroy by McKissick or Price.
A 6-seat "biz-plane" modified from a Vultee BT-13. Must be nice if you have a big family. The aircraft was offered for sale around 2007, registration N62571, so may still be around

[Moses03]

McKissick Viceroy it is. The Vultee book says several were made.

Over to Wout-

[wout]

This amphib is relatively new

[lefty]

Ha ! Floaters are lefty country - this one is the Ellison Gweduck, which I think is indeed up-to-date - it has only just flown for the first time.

[wout]

I will not deny that you are right!

[lefty]

Let's turn the clock back again - here's a lean whippet of a fighter. But which ?

[Moses03]

Questo aero elegante grandina da Italia, a Savoia S.52.

[lefty]

Molto bene, signore Americano, grande testa di cazzo.......

Savoia S.52 she be. Over to the Alamo.

[Moses03]

This one I can assure you, does not hail from Italy...

[Moses03]

This one was designed for a long distance flight that never came to pass.

[Moses03]

A resounding thud!

This is an early 1930's American effort, the Rankin EX-1. (Thought it had a European look to it).

How about another twin?

[lefty]

From an American one-off to a Brit ditto.

G-AEOG, the Hordern-Richmond Autoplane.

Not a resounding success - with two 40hp motors, hardly surprising !
