The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Don't overthink this one. A curious unintentional variant...

[lefty]

Well it's an Anson, but why someone's cut off half the wings I know not !

I do know, or at least have the info, but sitting here in my water-borne hotel on the left bank of the Seine , I don't have access to le bibliotheque so we must await...

[Moses03]

It is an Anson. Some wacky Canadian pilot got a little careless.

Suds for Lefty.

[pomme homme]

And there was me thinking that it was the rare Sea Anson, with the outboard wings folded oh so snugly that you wouldn't know that they were there!

[lefty]

Rob obviously using the Seine excuse to obscure the fact that he was the miscreant pilot......

Here's a jazzy little number, not difficult but fun..

[Ferry_vO]

The Texaco Travel Air Model R?

[lefty]

Indeed, Ferry, this was the 'Mystery Ship' acquired by the Italian government for reasons best known to themselves!

[Ferry_vO]

Time for a new one, now that our 'King's day' is almost over. (Not that is was a great day to celebrate, with snow, hail, rain and temperature no higher than 8 degrees...) :

La lune rousse has a lot for which to answer!

Hi Ferry
An Oberlerchner JOB-15?

[Ferry_vO]

Hi Ferry
An Oberlerchner JOB-15?

Correct, Wout!

[wout]

Thanks Ferry
Against the (forum) rules, but this one is rare, I think.
She was completed, but not flown. The company stopped the development and decided to acquire a licence for a more conventional type of which it built a small number, with a different name.

[wout]

The year is 1959

[wout]

Continent is Europe

[Moses03]

Those look like Lycoming engines but with Europe as a base I doubt that now.

[wout]

Sorry, but no Lycomings
She was powered by twin C90s from the competitor.

[wout]

If it helps... I could not find her on Google. Maybe my search qualifications are below par.
Btw, she is German

[srgalahad]

I think this one appeared some time ago...anyway it is a Hirsch MAeRC H100....
Cheers

and in the event that some might not believe it to be real, here, as of the 29th of April...



Musee de l'Air, Le Bourget, Paris.
It was a good, quick visit but with perhaps a couple of mystery aircraft after I edit to add grain and age (hehe)

[pomme homme]

Is that a tailfin of the Moynet Jupiter I spy stage right? If so, I'm glad that it's on display again. Maybe one day I'll see it alongside the Angers M.360-6.

[wout]

The twin with tunnel vision is the Binder B-24.
All I could find/gather is here:

4-seat sport
two 90hp Continental C90 piston engines
DETAILS: In 1958 Binder Aviatik KG started development of the 4-seat B-24 sport aircraft and a prototype was completed in September 1959. The forward fuselage and the wings were constructed by Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau KG and the aircraft underwent ground trials, but the project was terminated in 1960. The B-24 had a very unusual configuration with two large propellers turning in prominent shrouds and the aircraft was powered by two 90hp Continental C90 engines. Instead Binder Aviatik acquired a licence for the much more conventional Piel CP-30 Émeraude and then built an own variant as the CP-301S Smaragd (qv).
Production: 1 (unflown)

Open House please

I'm jealous Rob. Great to see you all taking in some aviation sights over there. Have fun.

[Moses03]

How about a pretty amphibian to decipher?

[Baragouin]

How about a pretty amphibian to decipher?

Hi boys and girls!
This is a Dornier Do 12 Libelle III of 1932...

PS This must be the Argus powered version

[Moses03]

You got it BG!
