The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

It's not a Brit, nor French. Did service with the airline UVP. No more hints.

Re the struts, John, they were not always faired, as you can see here.

[DHC2Pilot]

We should be asking ourselves which country rivals France in the manufacture of ugly aircraft?

[Moses03]

Only other thought I had initially was that it was Belgian but had no luck there.

[lefty]

The UVP airline was Ukrvosdukhput, which wasn't Belgian. Look at those high cheekbones, that buttoned-up tunic.

I am determined to drag this out of one of you !!!!

(Off to the movies tonight - The Girl Who Played with Fire - so when you get this (not IF !) pray continue........)

Okay, Lefty spoon fed this stinker to us. Its the Grigorovich SUVP from 1925. One built of course.

Blast ! Not having a good day, and now Moses glides a floater in under the radar - looks Curtissy, but I can't get it just for the moment.....

[Moses03]

Not a Curtiss effort...
