Thanks Chtornburg...sorry for the delay!
What about a liner in the grass?
Cheers

Lockheed R6V Constitution

It should be ship no.1, BuNo 85163. Remains of the phrase “YOUR NAVY—AIR AND SEA” painted in large letters on the fuselage sides might still be visible.

As to the grass I am not so sure: Presumably Litchfield Park, Arizona but it could also be in Las Vegas, Nevada or Opa- Locka, Florida (if it were ship no.2).

Quite right my friend and thanks for the lecture.....we are talking about the second Aircraft Bu 85164 corresponding to reg. number N7673C (which I erased) and the airport was off Opa-Locka airfield (see 1000 Aircraftphotos.com).
Your turn now...

Thanks BG. I thought the upper arch of the letter 'C' would belong to a '3'.

I hope you like this wee thing:

Looks like Wiweko WEL-1 from Indonesia

Chris

**giruXX** · November 24th, 2016, 10:54

... simply because it is the Wiweko WEL-1.

A

for Chris

I think I've got a stumper. I heard about this one and looked on Google. Found the google pix but not the webpage long gone. One thing I don't like about some forum where the old pix's are long gone or the webpages are long gone.
Anyway this one did fly and found some more info on it with the same pix but bigger sorry for the quality.

It might be difficult to identify this one truthfully. I knew a test pilot in that country very well but unfortunately he died in an accident several years ago.

**cthornburg** · November 25th, 2016, 02:24

giruXX

Which country?

Chris

**giruXX** · November 25th, 2016, 03:21

It’s a country that extends over many islands. It has its own aircraft industry. It is famous for its jungles with volcanoes, antropoides and many other rare animals.

**pomme homme** · November 25th, 2016, 07:04

This seems to be getting rather like twenty questions!

***Ferry_vO*** · November 25th, 2016, 07:50

Found a 'seomarcopter' by a mister Yum Soemarsono from Indonesia..

**cthornburg** · November 25th, 2016, 10:15

I'm going to go with that close enough.

I found it in reference to "Kepik" which led to the small goggle pix. Then found more just before posting. Kepik means Ladybug. So should be #4 on the list attached. Goggle translation is not the best in this case.

I found the photo here: https://linipedia.wordpress.com/2016...um-soemarsono/

Next one:

Marton X/V (RMI-8) from Hungary

What about a chopper?

**wout** · November 26th, 2016, 03:42

Hi giruXX

The VFW-Fokker H-3 Sprinter (D-9543 or D-9544) in compound mode. I think she was never flown in that form.

**giruXX** · November 26th, 2016, 06:48

Yes, Walter

A Dutch-German cooperation. Your turn again

**wout** · November 27th, 2016, 01:35

An early motorglider. Seems two were built.

**pomme homme** · November 27th, 2016, 04:01

The closest match for this that I can find is the Saurma-Jeltsch Motorsegler of 1937 (which also seems to be known as the GS4 Milan). But judging from the one photo of that I've found, the engine nacelle seems more elevated that Walter's mystery motorglider and the canopy arrangement differs. It could be that these are the results of later modification. But it could be that I'm presenting cogent arguments to suggest that my guess is wrong!

**wout** · November 27th, 2016, 04:20

Very sorry to say that you are wrong (in this case!).
The motorglider is much younger than the GS4 and an original design. If it is correct that two were built, one is now in a museum.
