Mraz M-1E Sokol

That's the one!

 

[cthornburg]

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.

That's it over to you

Thanks Chris.

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.....)

 

[zswobbie1]

Thank you, so funny & made my day! I blew coffee all over my keyboard!

 

[lefty]

Sorry about the keyboard, zsw, - it's just that I'm running out of aircraft photos - got lots of these though --

 

[Moses03]

Mike is correct with the ANEC. Hey, at least it was not another Wren!

 

[lefty]

Try this ol' floater...(hope these chaps don't think they are going to get very far.......)

 

[giruXX]

Looks like the Curtiss McCormick flying-boat of 1914 to me.

 

[lefty]

Indeed - the modified F boat for the tractor magnate.. (also known as the Spoonbill - yet another birdie!)

 

[giruXX]

...i.e. an early AG-plane, or perhaps even the first



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.

 

[lefty]

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...

 

[giruXX]

Indeed, there must be a prop (because gliders are not welcome here)

and it's not German

 

[fabulousfour]

It seems to me this is a Spanish design.

Colyaer Martin 3?

gX, do you know by chance what is the aircraft in the background?

 

[giruXX]

Fab4 you are right 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. ?

 

[lefty]

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

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks to both of you

Here's my new mystery, shouldn't be too difficult.
