The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

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



Edit: General Model 11?

[DHC2Pilot]

That's the one Kevin. Over to you.

[Moses03]

Never would have found it without your Ranger hint.

Splash goes the torpedo...

[lefty]

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

[Moses03]

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

[lefty]

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....

[Moses03]

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

[lefty]

Moses knows his Dutch girls...... of Amstel.

[Moses03]

Ungraceful looking cabin job...

Ungraceful looking cabin job...

:ques: Français?
Baragouin

[Moses03]

Not French Sir...

[DHC2Pilot]

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]

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

[Dave_Kent]

It's the Sopwith Antelope of 1920
Dave

[Moses03]

Right-o Dave. Over to you.

[Dave_Kent]

The new one

Dave

[Moses03]

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

[lefty]

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]

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

Dave

[Moses03]

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]

That's it!!

[Moses03]

Thanks Dave.

Here is one of the push-pull variety-

[lefty]

The Comte A.C.3 from . Yodel-ay-it-ee.....

[Moses03]

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

[lefty]

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......
