The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well it has the name right on the nose, "Joseph Le Brix", the Bleriot Bl-110 long distance plane.

Had to be a Bleriot or Breguet anyways.

[wout]

Hi Kevin, I`m sure you are correct. I have it as the Bleriot-Zapatta 110

[Moses03]

Thanks for the cold one Walter. Another scorcher here today.

Here is another amphibian of the push-pull variety.

[Moses03]

This one is a bit obscure. Here is a better view of the tail.

[Moses03]

From this side of the pond...

[lefty]

Hmm, right under the radar, this one. Guessed it had to be American, the tail looks very Curtissy/Aeromariney. But I've never seen that engine mounting right out front before. Surrender time.

[Moses03]

Don't know a whole lot about this one. It's a Miller MC-A1 from 1929.

Skipping ahead a bit...

[wout]

Hi Kevin, the ICA Ghimbav IS-23 from . Further development was halted in favour of the IS-24/IAR-824.

[Moses03]

Wout is like a Cobra hiding in the tall grass just waiting to strike.

Spot on of course.

[wout]

Nice single. Not that old yet.

[lefty]

Well I know pretty well zero about this type of aircraft, but the rear end looks totally Piper Aerostar.

Did someone convert one to single-engine, or what ?

(5 mins later) Yes he did ! It's Oscar Taylor's Speedstar.

[wout]

Hi Mike, you are right I think it is known as the Airplane Factory Speedstar 850
(850hp? Honeywell TPE331 urbine). Built by Mr. Oscar Taylor

[lefty]

Here's one that's wee bit different from the normal Piper clone.

[wout]

Hi Mike, the Karhumaki Karhu 48 from ?

[lefty]

Well I thought it might last a bit longer !
