The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

They all look alike. AG planes

Thanks for the info on Swearingen. Another one I'm looking for is a flying pix of the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye without the rotodome. I heard it did fly this way when it was in prototype time.

Something more vintage to consider.

We're back to birdies again ! This is the ANEC IV Missel Thrush ( I think the one below probably flies better.....)

Indeed - the modified F boat for the tractor magnate.. (also known as the Spoonbill - yet another birdie!) :very_drunk:
 
...i.e. an early AG-plane, or perhaps even the first :jump:



Here is another wee bird which, to my knowledge, doesn’t carry a bird’s name. But let’s wait and see what lefty our ornithologist will dig out.

Hard to see what's going on behind the fuselage pod, but you can see a prop in the shadow ! This is very much not my territory but I reckon it's probably German...
 
Fab4 you are right :icon29: I have no information about the partly hidden bird in the background :(

Another mystery is the "slotted" engine cowling. Something that appears only on this picture in contrast to all others. ?

This is the original - looks like someone has done a bit of unsuccessful photoshopping and ended up with an extra prop !
