The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

'a continental wee biplane...' ???

 

[pomme homme]

Well, for the time being, at least, arguably Baragouin could be said to be politically, if not geographically, correct ...... !

Anyhow, moving on, here's a rather elegant twin

 

[giruXX]

The Rey R.1 from

 

[pomme homme]

That's the girl. Over to you.

 

[giruXX]

I hope you like this wee thing

 

[giruXX]

Construction of the aircraft started in September 1966. First flight was in September 1967. The aircraft was used until 1975 and then donated to a helicopter museum where it is still on display.

 

[giruXX]

I hope that some colour helps

 

[Moses03]

No takers? The Krauss TRS 1 Hummel.

 

[giruXX]

Thank you Kevin Have a nice 2017! Over to you.

(I thought it would be easy after the TRS-3, earlier)

 

[Moses03]

Thanks gX. Not too many v-tail autogyros out there.


One from the grain archives. How about this ungainly trainer?

Happy New Year to all. Stay safe and healthy!

 

[Moses03]

From a somewhat obscure design outfit. They built several wildly different aircraft starting in 1905 but seemed to have faded by the late 1920's. This trainer showed up circa 1923.

 

[pomme homme]

Don't ask me why - because I don't know - but it looks Spanish to me.

 

[Moses03]

Not Spanish Mike but it does hail from Western Europe.

 

[pomme homme]

Well, I suppose when I question myself, I find myself answering - Hispano Suiza. Maybe I've had a surfeit of new year's day intuition. Maybe 2nd January will bring a new ray of light!

 

[lefty]

Looks very Nieuporty - apart from that ghastly front end !

 

[Moses03]

It's not French either. The designers are best known for a large twin hull flying boat and a diminutive triplane.

 

[lefty]

In which case it has to be the Ricci R.7 ?

 

[Moses03]

It is indeed the R.7. Not very aerodynamic!

 

[lefty]

Thanks Kevin - needed the clues !

Here's something for you laddies that's definitely no' wee - no, this yin's muckle........

 

[giruXX]

The Schneider Henri-Paul S.3, perhaps?
