The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

I found the same engine arrangement on the Bellanger-Denhaut BD-22. No luck on the rest of the ship yet.

[Baragouin]

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......

gentlemen
I have in my files exactly the same picture (or better still exactly the same type aircraft) under caption Bellanger-Denhaut BD/22 (HB3)....does it match?

(from nice sun drenched [at times] Tuscany)

[lefty]

It is indeed the Bellanger-Denhaut HB3 - type 22, so I think Moses was really first to the post, Baragouin. Over to Texas.....

[Moses03]

Didn't think I had a match.


This one won't last long with Wout out there somewhere...

[Naki]

Plastic fantastic - Windecker Eagle

[Moses03]

This is actually the YE-5 but close enough.

[Naki]

Similarish age to the Eagle....a twin this time

[wout]

Hi Naki :salute:
the unique Mark 22 twin by Mooney. First flown 1958, scrapped 1960. Registration N5299B

[Naki]

Correct!....I guess the fin was a bit of a give away..thought it might have you guys stumped

[wout]

A twin floater as new challenge.
I hope that with the name also some details/background info will be given

[Moses03]

Continental engines?

[wout]

Hi Kevin :salute:
Affirmative. O-470s to be precise.
First flight 1954.

[lefty]

You will have noted that your 'floater expert' has been very quiet.... I think you've got me here, Walter.

The uniform and photoshopped-out insignia are intended to steer us towards U.S.Navy, but I am pretty sure this one isn't, nor is it probably even American - far too much like the Grummans.

So I fear we are in more exotic territory and my knowledge is very thin in those parts ! Jane's, bless 'em, never did acknowledge the Third World anyway.....so....

[Moses03]

This must be a very rare one-off. Looks a little like one of the Commonwealth Trimmers except for the fuselage. I think I agree with Lefty that this is probably not of the USA.

[wout]

Hi Mike, Hi Kevin :salute:

You are correct. Not American. but I would not be surprised if there was US influence in the design view the time path and political situation at the time.
The Allied (Colonial) Trimmer was smaller overall and with lower powered engines.
This flying boat (name Chinhae or Chin Hae) was designed/built in the Rep.Of Korea and first flew 3 May 1954. It was slightly larger overall than the G-44 Widgeon.

PS: The photo appeared in Air Pictorial magazine sometime in the late-1950s.

Open House please

[flyingbrian]

Here is a twin engine plane.

[wout]

Hi Brian :salute:
Is this the Model B by James Wickham (N1343) ?

[flyingbrian]

It is indeed. Your turn.
-Brian

[wout]

I am very sorry, but have to ask for Open House this time.

[Moses03]

Here is a cozy little trainer. Obscure? Yes.

[lefty]

German ??

[Moses03]

Not German but it is a European design.

[Hurricane91]

By Giovanni Pegna?

[Moses03]

Not anything from Mr. Pegna. Here is a frontal view. Note the flimsy gear.

[Baragouin]

Here is a cozy little trainer. Obscure? Yes.

This is an italian aircraft of 1926: Cambilargiu-Folz CF1
