Yes, too easy - over to you, Green.....

 

[Green]

Cheers Lefty...

Looks like a Shenyang JJ-1.

 

[Green]

It is indeed.

Here is one from Walter's category

The country of origin should be clearly visible...

Could that be a Baker MB-1 "Delta Kitten"?

In the improbable case that I might be right would anyone be kind enough to let me know which kind of engine was fitted in?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Delta Kitten, Carlo

According to aerofiles the engine was a Continental C-85 with 85 hp.

Thanks Robert!
Sticking to Flying wings theme may I submit following item which for sure isn't going to win a beauty contest?

Hi Carlo
Very wild guess. The Eichman Aerobat Model A (USA), but the engine seems on the heavy side.

 

[Moses03]

I have it as a Arup (A)S-3.

Hi Kevin!
Yes she's the Arup AS3...now have a good night sleep and do surprise us Tomorrow with something special…
Cheers
Carlo

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Carlo.

Here is another interesting one.

 

[lefty]

Ahh - a real Moze special, this is the Schmidt of 1911 from New Jersey. I can't believe it actually flew with those weird props, but it supposedly did !

 

[Moses03]

Well spotted Mike.

It was ahead of it's time no doubt. Still trying to figure out what material he used to enclose the nose section.

Over to the lowlands-

 

[Baragouin]

Thanks Carlo.

Here is another interesting one.

A real interesting contraption at that….Just wondering where the engine would be located...perhaps within the fuselage? By the way anyone knows what kind of engine was fitted in?
Cheers
Carlo

 

[lefty]

Had to be some form of celluloid, which was used for early film stock - and which was also highly flammable!

Here's something (wake up Walter..) a bit later.....

 

[Moses03]

Re: The Schmidt. Carlo, the engine is just ahead of the pilot and connected to the props via chain drive. Not sure the type as I have tried to research this machine without any luck so far.

Hi Mike
Hopefully in time. The Meadowcroft MC-1 Chinook. by William Meadowcroft. Registration N2879D. Flown 1968
Later dismantled to use of parts in his Moonshiner, retaining the same registration.

 

[lefty]

That's the one, Walter, although according to Jane's (61-62) it first flew in 1960. No location given there, either, although a Bill Meadowcroft seems to have been a well-known figure around Jackson, MI.

Maybe Kevin has something on him ? And what about this Moonshiner, Walter ? Can't find anything about that one.

Over to you, sir.

Mike, thanks for the link with info on Bull Meadowcroft. Seems he was a.o. a nightfighter pilot with Starfire (F-94C) and Scorpion (F-89) time under his belt.
Please see here a bad photo of the Moonshiner. You can tell the familiy resemblence.

My next challenge will folow a.s.a.p.
