Apologies for the delay. Here is a curious little bug.
Hi Moses.
The Tallman T-4? That's just a guess from memory, now to Aerofiles for a closer look...
A quick one from Green on the T-4.
Take it away Sir.
I'm going to leave you with it Moses. I'm stepping out for the day but I can provide a photo of the completed aircraft if you prefer - just say the word.
Looking back at your T-4 photo - does it have a sort of Vickers geodetic construction to it?
Cheers.
Can't make up my mind if this is some sort of early jet or a helicopter.
I'd assumed helicopter - something along the Cierva W-9 lines - but that didn't get me any closer to identifying this mystery aircraft!
Not a helicopter and powered by a Continental piston engine driving a pusher ducted propeller. A boundary layer control research aircraft built by some bright young Americans at a University in the USA circa 1962...
Mississippi State University MA18B ?
If it is would never have guessed with out that BLC tip!
Keith
Keith, I'm willing to accept any answer with "Mississippi" in it!
All yours sir!
Thanks Green. I think it became the Marvelette, then the XAZ-1 when the NASA ( I think) became involved. There is a paper on the web from Mississippi Uni describing its evolution, I found it by googling BLC.
Anyway here is my next offering. Hope its not a repeat.
Keith
Pure luck with the quality photo BG, but not an AVIA, its from t'other side of pond.
Green you have it, well done.
Yours again I believe.
Keith
Looks real close to one of the Ta-Ho-Ma biplanes but not an exact match. Not sure.
Could this be the Pheasant H-10 ??
Thank you ( and good old Joseph Juptner....)
Here's a fighter trainer - the odd clue here, otherwise fairly obscure.
The roundel is confusing but my money is on the Societatea de Exploatari Tehnice SET-7.
Nice one on the Pheasant!
Well I'm going to give you that, although it is the rarer SET X (not to be confused with the SET 10)
It was a single-seater as opposed to the SET 7's two, and equipped with machine gun or camera gun.
As for the markings, I think the Romanian Army roundel (red/yellow/blue centre) was used between 1915 and 1941.
Good work, though !
Thanks Mike. Was not sure after posting but now I see I overlooked the X in my Romanian book!
Onward then with a grainy trimotor.
