• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

OK, but I've beaten every path, a few goat trails, a couple of Gypsy wagon-tracks and a contrail or two .. I surrender ( even though it looks familiar)
 
How dare you imply, sir, that my faculties are even remotely impaired by a few draughts of finest Scottish ale ?:isadizzy:

I have retired from this particular fray because I am unable to identify what must be a cutting from the Ecuadorean Plane Spotters Monthly. Please reveal, O sage of the sagebrush...........

It wasn't a scurrilous reference to ale in itself. I was just concerned that the flag was being waved from a position on the floor. Having fallen at work on Saturday (no impairment except lack of caffeine at 0630) and hit my knee, elbow, head and wrenched my back, I'm so acutely aware of falling objects...

I even checked the EPSM and came up dry. Obviously the Sage has some secret whacko Wicko documents from Waco...

Now, the ensuing floater.. hmmm
 
This of course is a Stearman S76D1. Very obsolete by 1936 standards. Maybe the Argentina Air Force needed it to shoot down pelicans.

How about this unique pusher?
 
....and then Mike digs DEEEEEEP into his bag of tricks and pulls this one out.
I'm convinced the "SHT" on the tail has nothing to do with the ID of this one. Likely the surname/initials of the person who owned it. Possibly Sir....(something or another)??
 
Actually it may have some relevance - but not the owner's name, and I don't think it's an 'H' in the middle.
This is a stinker - it is not from the US, and was made by a company that was incorporated into another which is still very much in business today.
 
Well I think you deserve :icon29::icon29: for that, John. (and a wee Macallan chaser too - or maybe it should be akvavit?).

Absolutely spot on.
