The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[wout]

Thank you PH for the museum list.
Seems a visit to the museum it more than worthwile!

Thanks Walter. Here's a grainy oddball....

This looked like a Salon photo so using that as a guide I was able to track it down as the Clement or Clement-Moineau Monoplane Racer. With retractable gear no less!

[lefty]

That's the one ! Those were the days.......

 

[Moses03]

A ship being built...

 

[giruXX]

That looks to me like a Dornier Merkur with some Wal around it.

 

[lefty]

It's a Dornier all right, but the tail ain't right for a Merkur - and those floats ? Could that be a Do D ?

 

[giruXX]

Indeed, that must become a Dornier D (with more to come next to it)!

 

[Moses03]

You both are sniffing down the right trail but is is the Do D. Dark ale for the Scotsman.

I am having trouble with the Aviafrance site -not working properly at all - is it just me ?

 

[Moses03]

Working for me at the moment.

 

[pomme homme]

I've just tried and I can access and navigate the site without difficulty. Maybe the problem is with UK IP addresses and the consequences of brexit?

 

[lefty]

I've been expecting a lot of Brexit flak - never mind, Donald and I will sort the world out......

What's happening is - I click on 'Les Machines', then 'Constructeurs', and pick out the model - it flashes up for about a millisecond then disappears - happens throughout the entire site. Bizarre...... French, of course.....

Here's an easy floater -

 

[giruXX]

Not a Dornier this time!

A Fiat C.29 (in its original form) - in other words: the prototype.

 

[lefty]

Yes -told you it was easy !

RE Aviafrance - thought it might be a Firefox issue - cleared cache etc - no joy. Tried in Chrome and it works, but painfully slowly.

 

[giruXX]

strange thing with your aviafrance problem, Mike. Not any such problem here with Firefox


For those who missed the Fiat.

 

[lefty]

Is that a Yak AIR-10 without its trousers ?

 

[giruXX]

You are in the right stable. I hope I won’t be considered picky if I ask you to continue? It is a game and not a competition.

This machine differs from all its predecessors and therefore got a unique designation. It is covered in literature and on the web such that I think it should be possible to identify it exactly.

 

[lefty]

No problems with being picky, gX - especially when I'm wrong ! Are you referring to the UT-2 ? Or do I have more digging to do ? I know it isn't the UT-2M because that had a different tail unit.

 

[giruXX]

You are getting much closer now!
