The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Ag plane huh? I had been looking more in the direction of a STOL/bush one-off.

Edit: General Model 11?

**DHC2Pilot** · May 9th, 2012, 16:50

That's the one Kevin.

Over to you.

***Moses03*** · May 9th, 2012, 18:20

Never would have found it without your Ranger hint.

Splash goes the torpedo...

**lefty** · May 9th, 2012, 20:21

A floater for Lefty ! Thanks Kevin. This is the Wight Twin. Probably No 1450.

***Moses03*** · May 10th, 2012, 04:20

Knew you would be on top of it. The Wight it is.

**lefty** · May 10th, 2012, 05:10

Yes, apparently the Wight could carry either a torpedo or a full fuel load, but, er, not both at the same time ! One of our wee failures.

Here's a much smaller water beastie....

De Schelde Scheldemeeuw. Try saying that several times while inebriated!

Ungraceful looking cabin job...

Not French Sir...

**DHC2Pilot** · May 11th, 2012, 12:26

Well equipped with a nice hot exhaust pipe to burn your head on while getting out of the airplane. Those designers thought of EVERYTHING. :mixedsmi:

***Moses03*** · May 11th, 2012, 13:27

Only one was built. I guess too many passengers complained about the hot exhaust.

**Dave_Kent** · May 11th, 2012, 16:45

It's the Sopwith Antelope of 1920

***Moses03*** · May 11th, 2012, 18:23

Right-o Dave.

Over to you.

**Dave_Kent** · May 12th, 2012, 04:10

The new one

Dave

***Moses03*** · May 12th, 2012, 08:11

That front on view is tough. Something German or Italian methinks.

**lefty** · May 12th, 2012, 08:50

Yes, I've been working on this one too, and so far have done a lot of eliminating !

Not, I think, British, French, German, or American. Can't find a Japanese likeness, and can't even pin down that engine.

Am I seeing a gap between fuselage and lower wing ??

**Dave_Kent** · May 12th, 2012, 16:54

The nation has been mentioned. The machine was produced in considerbale numbers (sort of).

Dave

***Moses03*** · May 12th, 2012, 17:47

Breda Ba.25I? Found a photo that matches well but the engine has a cowl ring.

Edit: I think I have your ship.

**Dave_Kent** · May 13th, 2012, 07:38

That's it!!

***Moses03*** · May 13th, 2012, 10:36

Thanks Dave.

Here is one of the push-pull variety-

**lefty** · May 13th, 2012, 11:41

The Comte A.C.3 from

. Yodel-ay-it-ee.....

***Moses03*** · May 13th, 2012, 11:54

From the land of watches, chocolate and lethal pocket knives indeed.

for Lefty

**lefty** · May 13th, 2012, 13:59

Here's another of those draughty (or drafty, if you're of that persuasion) floaters. H.54 will not help you much, I fear.

Off to beddybyes now so press on if entitled......
