All Italian text as well. Not a big selling point for me.

John has nailed the Messerschmitt - V21 or Bf 109 X as it is sometimes referred to. Over to Kansas -

Must have been a noisy brute......

Thanks for the brew Lefty, I needed that after a long hot day.
That Messer's canopy does remind me of the old 1/4 inch scale
Aurora Zero.

This one has two names...

Attachment 68837

...pick one or both.

**DHC2Pilot** · July 9th, 2012, 15:22

or all three.....Romanian ICAR Commercial, aka Messerschmitt M.36, aka IAR 36.

**Hurricane91** · July 9th, 2012, 16:11

Horray! Very good sir.

You have the floor.

**DHC2Pilot** · July 9th, 2012, 19:55

Thanks. I almost messed up and said Avia 156 to that one. Anyhoooo - back to the good 'ol days of bipes.....

**lefty** · July 10th, 2012, 10:42

The chunky Atlantic XFA-1.

**DHC2Pilot** · July 10th, 2012, 14:00

You got it Mike

**lefty** · July 11th, 2012, 00:10

This is for the twin-boom pusher fans amongst us, so ignore the Herc flying over it !

A tragic lesson in how not to do it......

The AVE Mizar, a combination of a Ford Pinto and a Cessna 337 Skymaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVE_Mizar

**lefty** · July 11th, 2012, 08:20

Indeed, Ferry

. Shame about the Pinto and Cessna parting company in mid flight........

***Ferry_vO*** · July 11th, 2012, 11:31

It's a shame about the butchered Cessna, not so sure about the Pinto...

Anyway, OH gents!

So it failed as a car and failed as an aircraft too. Better off as beer cans maybe (although they'd probably leak!)

If you look carefully, you will see a big 'G' on the wing. (Always remove clues when devious Scotsmen are around)

This is the Henderson-Glenny Gadfly.

I thought also that you might spot the Brooklands race track in the background too - thats more difficult to hide!
Anyway thats the one - a wee dram for you; & your throw.

**lefty** · July 12th, 2012, 09:23

Thank's for the dram, old boy, I need it to keep warm in this wondrous British 'summer'......

Here's a grainy old girl with an apparent superfluity of struts -

***Moses03*** · July 12th, 2012, 13:05

Ran across this one the other day when I was looking for John's biplane. If I can just remember where I saw it...

Looks like a Grover Loening design.

**lefty** · July 13th, 2012, 07:37

Not to the best of my knowledge, although there was an ultimate connection between the companies.

There was also a twin with similar ironwork..... there, I've given it away.......:mixedsmi:

**DHC2Pilot** · July 13th, 2012, 17:42

"Superfluity" - now there's a word you don't hear every day.

This well strutted lady is the Huff-Daland HD-4 'Bridget', aka the TA-2.

Ahhh, classic sign of approaching senility.......:isadizzy: Take it from one who knows....

Anyway, John's a man who obviously knows his Huffs, and has nailed this one..

On which subject, I have my name down for one of the new high-speed stair lifts.

That's the one that's so fast, it gets you upstairs before you have forgotten why you were going there..................................
