The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[srgalahad]

I was galloping along to avoid the stampede!
Actually the search was easier than i thought even though it was based on "gullwing Luscombe"... the tail-feathers were the clue.

This is an odd one - disregard the hayfield. The location was not one of intent! However, I guess a forced landing proves the aircraft flew - once

Looks awfully like a Twin JN to me -am I missing something ???

[Moses03]

Was thinking the same thing Mike. Although the nose on this one is slightly different.

[srgalahad]

to Fife! They were air-dropped about 0400 GMT as we flew over...

The nose was likely "customized" during the forced landing.

[lefty]

Floater again... (sorry chaps I must look out some others.....)

Fairy IIIF?

[lefty]

No Fairies here, sir.....

[Hurricane91]

Shorts?

[srgalahad]

The little triangular bits on the LE of the upper wing got me thinking about slots/slats and that led to Handley Page ... and then the H.P. 31 Harrow (yes there was another Harrow...)

Only pics I could find were the wheel version so Lefty must have dug deep in a Putnam

[lefty]

The boy's on form..

Yes, it's the 'other' Harrow and no, it wasn't a Putnam...

[srgalahad]

and now for something completely different

That Sir, is a FMA Ae. C.1 Triplaza.

[srgalahad]

yep.
didn't think it would last long now that some of the source material has started to appear online

[Moses03]

Not too difficult, but interesting.

And there it is on page 266 of the Putnam Handley-Page tome. Was convinced it was a Hawker or Blackburn effort!
